Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Norderney's Nordstrand lies on the open North Sea and faces almost due north, so a northerly is onshore, north-west and north-east come in side-on, and a southerly blows offshore across the island. The beach is lined with groynes, and the Staatsbad's beach regulations name the tidal current, undertow and those groynes as dangers for swimmers, so give them a wide berth on the water too. You may only go out from three hours after sunrise, which rules out a session at first light. The permit zone narrows to a strip of about 150 metres at its eastern end, which is why you have the most room in the western part.
Kiting and winging are only allowed in Erlaubniszone Norderney-Nordstrand, and only from three hours after sunrise. Source: NordSBefV.
The open water at Norderney Nordstrand faces N (353°). 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).
