Dorum

Dorum is a sheltered bay spot on Germany's North Sea coast, facing west into the Weser estuary region. The site features shallow, protected waters bounded by residential development and agricultural land to the east. Water conditions are typically choppy due to tidal influences and limited fetch, with modest wave heights averaging 0.58m. Wind reliability is relatively low at 35.8%, with average winds around 11.1 knots. Northerly winds provide optimal side-shore conditions for this west-facing coast. The spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking a protected learning environment with minimal wave intensity. Key considerations include shallow mudflats requiring careful launch and landing zone selection, tidal range affecting water depth, and development-related boat traffic. Water temperatures average 10.7°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. This is a regional spot best visited during stable high-pressure systems when northerly winds are consistent.
