SPO hosted the Kitesurf World Cup for over a decade.
Best winds: SW, W, NW, E. Season: April–November (year-round for locals). Wetsuit required — water rarely above 18°C. Nearest airport: Hamburg (1.5–2h drive). More info: Kitesurf The World – Germany

Watch tides carefully — at low tide, strong offshore currents can develop. With southerly winds, northerly currents make it hard to stay upwind. Offshore sandbars. Parking on the beach is possible but check tide before driving on sand — the parking area can flood at high tide. Kiteleash strongly recommended.
