Texel, Kogerstrand

Very nice

Atmosphere:
The island itself is beautifull and pleasant, a lot of the nothern beaches must be surfable as they all face the North Sea. I reckon they pick up all the swell from the North
I saw 1 other surfer. For the rest all the beaches are yours. What a relief compared to other very crowded beaches in Holland!

Additional Info:
Like the Slufter (Maasvlakte) there is a sandbar just before the beach, hence some waves close out right on the sandbar. Go a bit to the right of the main entrance just where the sandbar ends. Behind the sandbar there is a massive current to the right.
I've only been there once and the waves where about 1.5-2 meters. Some very steep and hollow, some gently breaking. Lot's of peaks. Not too fast though.
I was the only surfer in, along with two swimmers (!!!!!!).

When arriving with boat, go to little town called: 'De Koog'. From there go to 'campingterrein Kogerstrand. There are three entrances to the beach. The main entrance (near hotel 'De Noordzee' seems to have the best/easiest waves
