Because of the tide water sports are only possible from 2 hours before high tide until 2.5 hours afterwards. Space is limited by the lane of the Elbe (about 300m away from shore) flowing into the North Sea and the swimmers in the swimmer zones. Often crowed in summer. Very packed on the water with onshore winds. With SE winds the wind comes over a sand spit which keeps away the waves for very flat water. A small dam, which is covered by high tide, separates the surf zone from the boat channel. On the other side of the sand spit there is an old harbor, where you should only kite if you are experienced enough, due to many iron obstacles and walls. Sandy beach. The size depends on the tide. Good for North to East. Western wind are `offshore` because they point into the Elbe lane for big ships. With some huge ships the wind might vanish for some minutes. Avoid onshore winds, the spot will be too small. Works best in N, NE, E and SE. Air 20-30°C in August, water about 18°C. Season starts in April and ends in October. Off-season kiting possible but rather rare in water around 2°C and air around 2-5°C. Wetsuit always needed. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop. Features: Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
