Hazards:
No Information
Quality:
- Cloudy
Best Tide:
- High Tide
Flat to choppy water in the shallow areas. Small waves which can get bigger with stronger winds. Fun waves to play with. Further out nice rollers possible. Tidal beach, but always shallow for about 100-200m. Lots of space on the water, it can never get packed. In high summer some swimmers, but always lots of space to left and right. A nice lagoon forms on high tide. Some parts very shallow but ridable, from ankle to waist deep, gets deeper to its South end. Dry on low tide. Works only 2 hours before to 2 hours after high tide. Currents depend on the tide, but not too strong. At high tide you have a huge flat water area and further out a second sandbar. After the sandbar some nice waves start. At low tide there is no water for several km.
You have to park your car at the dam and then walk for about 500m. Then you will find a grassy area where you can rig your gear. At high tide you can access the lagoon right there, the lower the water level the more you have to walk. Be careful, the sand gets very slippery where the lagoon is. At low tide walk over the dry lagoon and a big beach to the water, which is about 600m from the grassy rigging area. Few shells on the beach. Within the season some tourists.
A wetsuit is necessary nearly all over the year. The water is between 5-22°C (spring to summer), air temperature is in the average 18°C (in summer) and can go up to 30°C. If you have the adequate wetsuit you can surf from April to November. Off-season is possible but very cold.

Drive on A23 to its end and follow the B5. Shortly after you crossed a small bridge follow signs to St. Peter and turn right onto B202. Follow the road until you see signs to St. Peter Dorf or Boehl. Do not take the first exit which says for trucks. Turn left the second signs. Follow the street until you cross railroads and drive straight. Follow the signs over the dam and park. Parking fees. On the main street in St. Peter Ording go to "Dorf". The follow the road to "Suedstrand". No parking allowed at the beach. Park directly behind the dam (parking fee) and walk for about 500m to the grassy rigging area just down the street. You can also take the bus from the parking lot to the beach.
