Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Büsum has two kinds of water side by side: the mudflats in front of the Westerdeich, where the permit zone lies, and the Perlebucht, a man-made lagoon with its own rules, so ask first whether you may go out there. The beach on the mudflats faces south-west, so a south-westerly is onshore and south and west come in side-on, while a north-easterly blows offshore. The regulation sets no tide window here. The DWD station is just over a kilometre and a half away, so the live reading tells you a lot here.
Kiting and winging are allowed in Erlaubniszone Büsum along the Westerdeich with no tide window; in the Perlebucht only from VDWS level 5 and after registering with the water sports school. Source: NordSBefV, Wassersport Büsum.
The open water at Büsum faces SW (218°). 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).
