Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Petten lies along the Pettemer Zeewering at the top of North Holland, a wide and fairly quiet North Sea beach that fills the gap between Camperduin and Callantsoog. Waves in west to northwest and plenty of room to rig up. Outside the high season you often ride here with just a handful of people.
The open water at Petten faces WNW (290°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, southwest, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the northeast and south, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the east and southeast, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
