Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Strand Horst near Ermelo on the Veluwemeer is the largest inland-water spot in the Netherlands: shallow, flat water, superbly accessible from the A28 and home to several kite schools. The learning hub of central Netherlands, and already busy on weekdays.
Stay on the Ermelo side. The far shore (Zeewolde) is a nature reserve where access is prohibited (Natura 2000).
The open water at Strand Horst (Ermelo) faces WNW (300°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the northeast, east, south and southwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the southeast, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
