How we know thisConfidence high

Confidence. Hourly model data, 2017 to 2025, checked against the season shape of a nearby weather station, a regional model or a documented season. Shares its model grid cell with 3 nearby spots, so the numbers describe the area, not one beach.

A kite day has at least 3 hours of 12 to 35 knots (gusts up to 45) between 10:00 and 19:00, in daylight. Percentages are the share of such days in each month, counted over 9 years.

Best months: at least half the days are kite days (50 % or more), outside the cold months. The colours grade every month on their own scale: Prime from 60 %, Good from 40 %, Possible from 20 %.

Prime also needs a good month in at least 7 of the 9 years, so one freak year cannot make a month Prime. A month with 60 %+ but fewer good years shows as Good.

x in 10 reads: of all 10 day trips that started in that month between 2017 and 2025, x in 10 got at least 5 kite days. We cap the figure at 9 in 10 because wind is never a promise.

Conditions, checked against kite guides

Water state, flat areas, waves and whether schools teach here, from kite sources, not from satellite images.

  • A flat area and real waves, both normal here.
  • A flat or sheltered area exists for riding.
  • Breaking waves are normal in the season.
  • Learning possible in parts: a flat area plus a wave zone.
  • Standing-depth water with flat water inside the jetty and jumpable waves on the outer sandbank in N to NE winds; it gets crowded and has a nature reserve and a swimming zone that riders must avoid.

Checked 2026-10-08, confidence high (two or more kite sources agree). Sources: www.kite-and-windsurfing-guide.com, www.surf-magazin.de.
