Westerheversand

Westerheversand is located on Germany's North Sea coast, featuring a beach break environment with extensive tidal flats characteristic of the Wadden Sea region. The coastline faces northwest toward the water, creating a complex shallow-water environment with significant tidal influence. The satellite imagery reveals mudflat patterns and rough chop conditions indicating moderate current activity. Best wind conditions occur from the northeast (approximately 45°), providing reliable side-shore orientation parallel to the coast. The spot receives moderate wind reliability at 45.9% with average 12.2-knot winds and small average waves of 0.94m, suggesting variable conditions. The rough-chop water conditions indicate challenging surface texture typical of strong tidal zones. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with unpredictable water conditions, shallow areas, and tidal complications. Water temperatures average 10.6°C, requiring thermal protection year-round. Key considerations include tide timing for water depth availability, soft bottom conditions affecting launch/landing, and awareness of navigation lanes in this busy North Sea coastal area.
