Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
The ferries to Föhr and Amrum leave from the harbour at Dagebüll, and the permit zone lies just north-west of that harbour, on the Wadden Sea. The coast there faces north-east, so a north-easterly is onshore and north and east come in side-on, while a south-westerly blows offshore across the land and a westerly is already side-off. That makes Dagebüll a spot for wind from the north to east, and on a westerly you are better off looking elsewhere. The regulation sets no tide window here, and there is no live reading nearby either, because the station on Föhr is more than fifteen kilometres away, so here you decide on the forecast.
Kiting and winging are only allowed in Erlaubniszone Dagebüll north-west of the harbour, with no tide window. Source: NordSBefV.
The open water at Dagebüll faces NE (34°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, northeast and east (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the southeast, south, west and northwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the southwest, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
