Why Riders Love It
Winds depend on depressions. Best in spring and autumn. Can be any strength.
When to Go
German standard - wetsuits all year, season from April till late October. Off-season possible, but very cold. High summer maybe a few weeks with shorts and lycra.
What to Expect
Dead flat. The first few hundred meters it's about ankle to knee deep - so no spot for launching big airs. Twintip boards come in handy - if you bring your mutant or directional, bring weed-fins as well.
