De Haan
Belgium
Den Haan is a straightforward beach break with a sandy bottom that produces both left and right-hand waves. It responds to north-northwest groundswell and works best with southeast wind offset. The spot is highly dependent on tide—high water brings the most rideable conditions, while the flat between high and low tide makes paddle-out sessions tedious. Water temperature swings from 23°C in summer to 3°C in winter. Spring, particularly April, offers the most consistent surfable waves; summer tends to be flat and blown out. Rip currents and strong tidal flow are the main hazards. Den Haan is a beginner-friendly wave when conditions align, producing waves around 0.5 meters at smaller sizes and occasionally reaching logo-high on better days. The rarely crowded beach and manageable wave heights make it an accessible learning spot, though it requires exactly right conditions to be worth a session. Access is straightforward via the resort town of De Haan on the Belgian coast. The beach is backed by sandy dunes and a Belle Époque seafront with paid parking available near the shore, though spaces are limited. The Beachclub Windhaan at the eastern end of the promenade provides facilities including showers, changing rooms, and a bar for after-session recovery.

Ollies point
Belgium
Ollies Point is a medium-sized beach break with peaks producing both left and right-hand waves across a sandy bottom. The spot responds best to north and north-northwest swell combined with southeast winds, which create the most favorable offshore conditions. Waves arrive inconsistently, with spring—particularly April—offering the most reliable rideable surf. Mid to high tide during a rising tide provides optimal shape. The break tends toward intermediate-to-advanced difficulty; summer conditions are typically flat. Strong currents and rip passages are present, and nearby breakwaters pose a hazard, so staying clear of these structures is essential. Man-made navigation buoys also present obstacles. Surfing arrived in Belgium in 1983 when a traveler returned from Morocco with a board; Ollies Point itself was discovered and named after its founder in the 1990s. The spot has established itself as a known destination within Belgium's modest surf community. Localism, which was once a notable presence, has diminished over time, though respecting local surfers remains important. The break sits near Mariakerke, approximately three kilometers from Ostend, with convenient beach parking located just a five-minute walk from the water's edge via Dijksmuidestraat.
