Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Sankt Peter-Ording is the big sandbank beach of the German North Sea coast, so wide that at low tide the water sits hundreds of metres further out than at high tide. The beach faces west, so a westerly blows straight onshore and south-west and north-west come in side-on, while an easterly blows offshore from the land. For ten years this was where the Kitesurf World Cup was held, and all that space also draws beach sailors and buggy riders. The DWD wind station stands a kilometre from the launch, so the live reading really tells you something about your spot. Do stay out of the Ording swimming zone, which is marked off with posts and a line of buoys.
Kiting and winging are allowed in Erlaubniszone 18 St. Peter-Ording with no tide window, but not in the Ording swimming zone (posts with a buoy line) and not in protection zone 1 north of the beach. Source: NordSBefV, national park kitesurfing leaflet SPO 2023.
The open water at Sankt Peter-Ording faces W (277°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are southwest, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north, northeast, southeast and south, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the east, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
