Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 6 years of historical weather data.
Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Wenningstedt is a beach break located on the western coast of Sylt island in the German North Sea. The coastline faces westward into open ocean with a sandy beach providing direct access. The spot features moderate wave exposure and typically choppy water conditions due to North Sea fetch and tidal dynamics. Average wave height of 1.13m indicates smaller waves suitable for progression rather than power. Wind reliability of 56.4% suggests inconsistent conditions. The residential development immediately adjacent to the beach limits space for errors and kite recovery. Best conditions occur with northerly or southerly winds providing side-shore flow relative to the west-facing coast. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with urban beach environments and variable conditions. Winter months typically offer stronger and more consistent wind. Kiters should be aware of tidal influences, potential strong currents indicated by water patterns, and shallow areas near the shoreline. Local knowledge of seasonal conditions and current patterns is recommended.
