Sahlenburg kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot

Overview

The Sahlenburg spot is located on the North Sea coast near Cuxhaven, in Lower Saxony. This coastal spot offers a vast tidal flat with tide-dependent kitesurfing conditions, facing the island of Neuwerk. The prevailing westerly and northwesterly winds blow regularly along the coast. North Sea tides are very significant here, with large sandy areas exposed at low tide. Suitable for intermediate riders due to tidal currents.
