K4 Sylt

K4 Sylt is located on the North Sea coast of Germany's northernmost island, featuring a south-facing sandy beach with extensive shallow water zones and tidal flats. The spot is characterized by a narrow beach corridor backed by dunes, with the seafloor extending gradually into deeper water. The area experiences significant tidal variation typical of the North Sea, creating changing water depths and conditions throughout the day. East or west winds are ideal for side-shore conditions, with easterly winds being more common given prevailing weather patterns. Water conditions remain rough-chop with modest wave heights averaging 1.1m. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with shallow-water launches and tidal considerations. Wind reliability at 57.6% indicates variable conditions, requiring flexibility in session timing. Water temperatures average 10.7°C, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. Kiters should be aware of tidal cycles, shallow zones requiring caution, and potential kelp. The narrow accessible corridor and shallow flats require careful navigation during setup and exit.
