Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Nieblum on Föhr is a beach break located on the North Sea coast of a German island, facing south toward the water. The spot features a gently sloping sandy beach with immediate transition to shallow, choppy water. The surrounding landscape is predominantly agricultural with small residential clusters, indicating a protected, sheltered environment. The average wave height of 0.88m and choppy water conditions suggest this is primarily a flat-water spot suitable for riders focused on freestyle, light wave riding, or skill development rather than wave quality. With 51% wind reliability and 13-knot average winds, the spot works best during consistent weather windows. East (90°) and west (270°) winds provide optimal side-shore conditions for safe launch and landing. The shallow nature and proximity to land structures make this suitable for beginners and intermediate riders. The low-energy environment minimizes hazard severity but requires awareness of shallow water dynamics and potential obstacles near shore. Water temperature around 10.5°C necessitates protective gear year-round.
