When is kitesurfing at Cuxhaven-Döse dangerous?

With the wind from the south, it blows offshore at Cuxhaven-Döse: you get pushed off the beach onto open water and can't get back if something goes wrong. Offshore wind is always a no-go, however hard it blows. kitesurfing is a no-go in the dark, too.

Kitesurfing, wing foiling and foiling at Cuxhaven-Döse

Kiting and winging are only allowed in Erlaubniszone Cuxhaven-Kugelbake, from three hours before to three hours after high tide; the zone only touches the beach directly west of the Kugelbake. Source: NordSBefV.

Wind directions & safety

The open water at Cuxhaven-Döse faces N (1°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, northeast and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the east, southeast, southwest and west, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the south, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).

On this page you'll find the live wind, the hourly forecast and a personal go/no-go for Cuxhaven-Döse, plus your ideal kite or wing size, nearby parking and (where available) a live beach webcam. Wind data: AROME and HARMONIE via Open-Meteo.
