Norddeich

Norddeich is located on the German North Sea coast in the Jade Bay, a shallow tidal estuary. The coastline faces south toward the water, with extensive mudflats, sandbars, and dike-protected land visible in the imagery. A marina and harbor facilities occupy the upper bay area, while residential development lines the eastern shore. The spot functions as a protected bay environment rather than open ocean, characterized by very shallow, choppy water conditions typical of North Sea inlets. Wind reliability is low at 29.5%, and average wind speeds of 10.2 knots limit consistent riding conditions. Best winds approach from the east (90°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The spot suits beginners due to shallow water and protected conditions, though tidal influences and variable mudflat exposure require local knowledge. Water temperature averages 10.8°C, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. Navigation of shallow channels and awareness of boat traffic in the marina area are essential considerations.
