Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
From the dyke at Hooksiel you can watch the big ships heading for the JadeWeserPort in Wilhelmshaven, and in front of it lies a sandy beach several kilometres long that the Wangerland tourist office calls a popular kitesurfing area. The beach faces almost due north, so a northerly is onshore and north-west and north-east come in side-on, while a southerly blows offshore across the land and west and east blow along the shore. The permit zone runs along the beach, with no tide window, and since there is no live reading nearby, go mainly by the forecast.
Kiting and winging are only allowed in Erlaubniszone Hooksiel, with no tide window. Source: NordSBefV.
The open water at Hooksiel faces NNE (13°). 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).
