Honestly? I only check zandvoort.cloud now before heading to Zandvoort. It's like a smart friend telling you: "Yes, today the beach is worth it" – or not.
Beach Score
The standout feature: a Beach Score from 0–10 that tells you in 3 seconds whether it's a beach day. It factors in temperature, wind, rain probability, UV index and general conditions – each with its own sub-score so you can see exactly why it's a good (or bad) day.
AI Weather Report
Every morning at 8:00, an AI generates a detailed weather analysis in the style of a professional weather report. There's even a radio version you can listen to – complete with a jingle. Sounds silly, but it's surprisingly useful and well done.
Tides & Sea Conditions
Tide data comes directly from Rijkswaterstaat (IJmuiden station, 10 km away). You see the current tidal phase, a visual tide curve, and when the next high or low tide hits. Plus: water temperature, wave height, and wave direction.
What else is on there
