Schillig

Schillig is a coastal spot in the German Wadden Sea region, characterized by shallow bay waters with extensive mudflats and sandy areas. The northeast-facing coastline borders a populated area with residential neighborhoods, recreational facilities, and boat launches. Water conditions consist of rough-chop patterns typical of protected bay environments with limited wave development. The spot features a gradual, gentle approach making it accessible for beginners, though low wind reliability (39.1%) and modest average wind speeds (11.4 knots) mean sessions may be unpredictable. Best conditions occur with southeasterly winds providing side-shore flow. The area is suited primarily to beginner and early intermediate kiters seeking a sheltered, non-technical environment. Key considerations include monitoring tidal changes affecting water depth and mudflat exposure, awareness of recreational boat traffic from nearby marina facilities, and the soft bottom conditions requiring caution when stopping or launching. Wind conditions often require larger kites due to moderate average speeds.
