Zandvoort, August 30th, Beach Day Index = 7. The reason the Dutch beach is empty even on good days is that Dutch people can not adjust plans last minute and Dutch weather is too unpredictable to plan ahead for a beach day in a climate where beach days are hit or miss. So when the weather turns suddenly good and say this is announced the day before, the Dutch have already planned the day full of activities and are not flexible enough to make a change in those plans. I have so many friends that I call from the beach and tell how good the weather is and they tell me "sorry, cant come to the beach... I planned to go to Ikea". So when -like today- it is announced days ahead that this saturday is going to be fantastic, whereas the last few weeks have been dark and rainy, then all of the Netherlands is able to plan ahead and decide to go to the beach. So indeed the beach conditions were great and the beach clubs are preparing for a busy busy day. We were there early enough to find the beach empty and peaceful, had breakfast and left just before the busloads of people start coming down.
