Niendorf Hafenmole

This beach can have it all. Extreme flat water behind the mole (stones) in front of the small harbor. At the end of the mole on the sandbar nice waves, specially in strong E/NE winds. Then you can get speed and use the waves as ramps. Choppy in West winds. Be careful with the mole and its stones. To the East another concrete mole and in-between small wooden wave breakers. If your ride close to the mole, stay away from the boats coming in and out of the harbor. Sandy beach, with a few pebbles and shells. The beach is about 20-30m wide, further west towards the mole about 100m. Lots of space except in summer. The only free beach in that area, so very packed in summer, kiting not possible. Be careful, there are some iron volleyball and basketball poles on the beach. Best winds in spring and fall. Summer lighter winds, can have nice East winds. Any strength possible with depressions. Best direction is NE, mainly in summer. Westerlies are very gusty and no fun at all. East can be gusty, a bit more to the North and it is more constant. A wetsuit is necessary nearly all over the year. The water is between 5-20°C (spring to summer), air temperature is in the average 18°C (in summer) and can go up to 30°C. If you have the adequate wetsuit you can surf from April to November. Off-season is possible but very cold. Water: Flat, Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Rooms, Rescue, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
