Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
The Slufterstrand on the western tip of the Maasvlakte is rugged, empty and windy: the spot juts far into the North Sea and so catches wind from almost every westerly quarter head on. Waves, space and few facilities, so bring everything yourself. This is a spot for those after the real deal.
Kiting only in the designated Slufter kite zone; Maasvlakte 2 (P5/P6) is prohibited. Check your launch spot on the spot map of the NKV (Dutch kitesurfing association).
The open water at Maasvlakte faces WSW (247°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are south, southwest, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north and southeast, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the northeast and east, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
