There's tide, because it's a spot at North sea. The water is flat when you stay between the sand banks, and there can be some waves in the deeper water. It isn't a shallow spot, because it's at sea, but when you stay between the sand banks it can be fairly shallow.

Sandy beach. There are some shells on the sand but not much. There is room enough to safely launch your kite. With high tide however the beach becomes somewhat narrow. Entry: take the entry at the parking lot below the viaduct, not the parking lot where the wind-turbines are. Because it can be crowded there with tourists.
