S/SW/SE/SSE best — offshore from island (blowing across the Waddenzee mudflats = flat water). N/NW/NE onshore = choppy Waddenzee conditions (not suitable here). April–September best. Spectacular seabird and seal environment.
Tidal — kite only 3 hours before and after high tide. Stay clear of the ferry dam and nearby fairway. Strong currents near the navigation channel. Best season: April–September.
