About ÖY Wassersportbasis Borkum
Known for kitesurfing, sailing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces S, so wind from the N blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 11°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing, sailing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing S. Wind from the S blows onshore, wind from the N blows out to sea, and wind from the W or E runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 650 m out (1 in 63). 1 sailing school or club within 10 km. The sea is about 6°C in January, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 19°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Borkum. Within 5 km we also list 2 surf spots.
