01Which wind direction works at Texel Dijkmanshuizen

Wind from the southeast blows straight onto the beach. Safe is wind from northeast (50°) through southeast to southwest (220°).

Side-onshore 65° to 115° and 155° to 205°: the best angle: you ride back and forth easily and the wind pushes you back to the sand.
Straight onshore 115° to 155°: safe, you always wash up on the beach, but getting away from the shore takes effort.
Side-shore 50° to 65° and 205° to 220°: good to ride, but you do not drift back by yourself; stay close to the shore.
Offshore 220° to 50°: the wind blows you out to sea; Kitewind does not count these hours as a session.

Everything outside that is offshore: the wind blows you out to sea. Why that is the biggest risk.
