The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Borkum's Südstrand lies on the Ems estuary side of the island and faces south-west, so south-south-west to west-south-west is onshore and south and west come in side-on, while north-west and south-east blow along the beach and a north-easterly is offshore across the island. Kiting and winging are only allowed in the permit zone. Unlike on the island's Nordstrand, where you may only go out three hours after sunrise, there is no time window here. The DWD station is four hundred metres away, although it stands among the houses on the Süderstraße rather than by the water.
Kiting and winging are only allowed in Erlaubniszone Borkum-Südstrand, with no tide window. Source: NordSBefV.
The open water at Borkum Südstrand faces SW (227°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are south, southwest and west (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north, east, southeast and northwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the northeast, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
