Reading the Scheveningen Pier forecast
Wind forecast
The wind chart shows the hourly average wind and gusts at Scheveningen Pier in miles per hour, with arrows for the direction the wind blows from. Wing foilers usually want about 12 to 25 mph, while kiters and kite foilers can launch in lighter air with a bigger kite or foil. A wide gap between the average and the gusts means gusty, harder riding, and offshore wind blows you away from the launch.
Swell forecast
Where swell data is available, the swell chart shows wave height and period over the coming days. A longer period means more powerful, more widely spaced waves, which suit downwinders and prone foiling but make launching through the shorebreak harder.
Tide chart
Where tide data is available, the tide chart shows the water level over the next 24 hours in feet. At a shallow launch, low tide can expose rocks, reef or sandbars that catch a foil, and a running tide can flow with or against the wind.
