Südstrand Föhr

Südstrand on Föhr is a beach break located on Germany's North Sea island, facing east into shallow coastal waters. The spot occupies a sheltered bay environment with sandy bottom and extensive shallow areas visible in the satellite imagery. Water conditions are characteristically choppy due to the shallow fetch and bay setting. Wind reliability is moderate at 46.1%, with average winds around 12 knots providing marginal conditions. Water temperatures average 10.5°C, requiring thermal protection year-round. The spot suits beginners and early intermediates due to small average wave heights (0.74m) and relatively forgiving beach break conditions. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (side-shore), though the low wind reliability means sessions require patience. The shallow water and choppy conditions demand awareness of sandbars and tidal changes. Residential density near the beach suggests potential boat traffic during summer months. The island's protected bay setting makes this suitable for progression rather than challenging maneuvers.
