Wittdün Amrum

Wittdün on Amrum is a shallow bay spot on Germany's North Frisian coast, facing westward into the North Sea. The bay is protected by the island formation, creating a lagoon-like environment with moderate fetch. The spot features sandy beaches transitioning to shallow, muddy bay waters with visible sandbars and depth variations. A prominent pier structure divides the water, requiring awareness of navigation. Wind reliability of 56% and average wind of 13.7 knots provide consistent but variable conditions typical of northern European coastal waters. Water temperatures average 10.7°C, requiring thermal protection. The rough-chop conditions and 1.07m average wave height reflect protected bay characteristics rather than open ocean exposure. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking sheltered conditions with manageable water dynamics. The shallow bay waters offer safety benefits but require awareness of tidal changes and sandbars. Best conditions occur with southerly winds providing side-shore paralleling the coast. Summer months offer warmer conditions, though consistent wind is available year-round.
