When is kitesurfing at Schillig dangerous?

With the wind from the southwest and west, it blows offshore at Schillig: you get pushed off the beach onto open water and can't get back if something goes wrong. Offshore wind is always a no-go, however hard it blows. kitesurfing is a no-go in the dark, too.

Which spots are near Schillig?

The nearest spots are Hooksiel (7 km), Cuxhaven-Döse (48 km), Norderney Nordstrand (55 km). If the wind is wrong at Schillig, one of these is often safe to ride.

Kitesurfing, wing foiling and foiling at Schillig

Kiting and winging are only allowed in Erlaubniszone Schillig, with no tide window. Source: NordSBefV.

Wind directions & safety

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).

On this page you'll find the live wind, the hourly forecast and a personal go/no-go for Schillig, plus your ideal kite or wing size, nearby parking and (where available) a live beach webcam. Wind data: AROME and HARMONIE via Open-Meteo.
