The Dutch islands have often more wind then on the mainland, so it's often better than somewhere else in the country. You can vary on the spots you go to, depending on the wind. Spring and fall are the best for good winds. Winds are based on high and low pressure areas. Wind in spring and autumn usually 3-4 times a week. In summer it's less. Due to the mole easterlies can be gustier. Best in W, SW and S.
