Nebel Amrum

Nebel on Amrum is a North Sea beach break located on the western coast of the German island of Amrum. The spot faces west toward open water with relatively long fetch from the Atlantic. The beach is characterized by wide sandy flats with sandbars, typical of North Sea coastal morphology. Water conditions are consistently rough-chop with modest wave heights averaging 1.13m, indicating wind-driven rather than swell-driven conditions. Best wind direction is from the north, providing ideal side-shore conditions while maintaining the westerly exposure. With average winds of 13.6 knots and moderate reliability at 56.4%, conditions are inconsistent but adequate when present. Water temperature averages 10.7°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection year-round. This spot suits beginner to early intermediate kiters due to manageable wave sizes and wide beach space. Key considerations include monitoring water depth and sandbars at low tide, respecting the building infrastructure visible near the access point, and accepting variable wind patterns typical of temperate coastal regions.
