Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
On the corner of the Wangerland, where the Jade opens into the North Sea, the beach at Schillig looks out over the islands of Mellum and Minsener Oog. The beach faces east-north-east, so north-east and east are onshore and north comes in side-on, while south-west and west blow offshore across the land. That makes Schillig a spot for days with wind from the north-east or east, because on a westerly Windulu gives a no-go here. Kiting and winging are allowed only inside the permit zone, and no tide window applies there. There is no wind station within fifteen kilometres, so here you decide on the forecast.
Kiting and winging are only allowed in Erlaubniszone Schillig, with no tide window. Source: NordSBefV.
The open water at Schillig faces ENE (64°). 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 and northwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the southwest and west, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
