List Sylt

List on the island of Sylt is located on Germany's North Sea coast, facing east into a shallow bay system. The spot features extensive sandbars and lagoon formations visible in the satellite imagery, creating a protected body of water separated from open ocean. The sheltered bay configuration with moderate fetch provides consistent but manageable conditions. Wind reliability of 58.6% and average wind speed of 14 knots support beginner to intermediate progression. The shallow, choppy water conditions (0.97m average waves) indicate a lagoon environment rather than open ocean exposure. Best wind direction is northerly (side-shore), with secondary option from south. The spot suits beginners and early intermediates due to protected conditions and forgiving water state. Key considerations include navigating shallow areas and sandbars, respecting boat traffic in marked channels, and planning sessions around tidal cycles. The residential proximity means noise regulations and beach access coordination may apply. Water temperatures averaging 10.5°C require appropriate thermal protection year-round.
