Westerland sits in the middle of Sylt's open west coast, and according to the World Cup organisers the Brandenburger Strand at beach access 44 has the best waves in Germany. That is why the Windsurf World Cup has been held here at the end of September for decades, joined by the Kitesurf World Cup since 2019. The beach faces due west, so a westerly is onshore and south-west and north-west come in side-on, while an easterly blows offshore, off the island and out to sea. In a westerly the surf breaks close to the beach, so this is above all a spot for riders who want waves and already have experience in them.
Kiting and winging are allowed in Erlaubniszone Sylt-Westküste with no tide window. From 15 April to 15 October, launch only from the water sports beaches (Brandenburger Strand, access 44) and keep well clear of the swimming zones. Source: NordSBefV, beach bylaw of Gemeinde Sylt 2017.
The open water at Westerland faces W (278°). 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).
