Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Grimmershörner Bucht is a shallow bay on the German North Sea coast facing east toward open water. The spot is characterized by low-lying agricultural land and residential development immediately adjacent to the shoreline, with protective dikes visible in the satellite imagery. The water body is enclosed, providing some protection from offshore swell. Wind reliability is marginal at 37.8%, and average wind speeds of 11.3 knots present challenges for consistent kitesurfing. The shallow bay bottom and choppy water conditions suggest this location experiences tide-driven flows and local wind effects rather than consistent oceanic patterns. The spot suits beginners during favorable conditions due to protected waters, but marginal wind statistics and shallow depths require careful planning. Kiters should be aware of the developed shoreline limiting launch and recovery options, and should monitor tidal conditions as shallow areas may restrict maneuvering. Best wind direction is northerly for side-shore conditions.
