Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Vrouwenpolder sits on the North Sea side of the Veerse Dam: a wide, gently shelving beach that offers plenty of room. The spot is popular with kite schools, and that says something about its character: accessible, shallow near the shore and easy to read. Also a logical alternative now that kitesurfing on the Veerse Meer itself is no longer allowed.
The open water at Vrouwenpolder faces N (355°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, northeast and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the east, southeast, southwest and west, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the south, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
