Stenodde Amrum

Stenodde on Amrum is a bay-facing spot located on the northeastern coast of the German island of Amrum, part of the North Frisian Islands. The spot sits within a protected bay with relatively shallow waters and moderate wave conditions typical of the North Sea. The 1.07m average wave height and rough-chop water type indicate shelter from major ocean swell, making this a bay environment rather than open ocean exposure. The presence of residential areas, moored boats, and docks indicates this is a developed coastal settlement with shared water use. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (around 315°) which provide side-shore flow parallel to the coastline. With wind reliability at 56% and average wind speeds of 13.7 knots, sessions require selective timing around favorable weather windows. Water temperatures around 10.7°C demand appropriate thermal protection. This spot suits intermediate riders who can navigate around obstacles and manage variable bay conditions. Kiters should respect the working harbor environment, stay clear of moored vessels, and be aware of tidal effects on water depth and current patterns.
