Overview

Burhave is a kitesurfing spot located on the North Sea coast, in Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen), on the Butjadingen peninsula. This spot offers vast sandy areas exposed at low tide, typical of the Wattenmeer (Wadden Sea). Conditions are suited for beginners and intermediates at high tide, with a relatively flat body of water. The prevailing winds come from the west and southwest, providing side-shore to side-onshore sessions. The spot is tide-dependent, so it is essential to check the tide schedule before sailing.
