About

Check out this spot in Pellworm. Great location for surfing, supping, wind surfing, body surfing and body boarding. Pellworm is a small island located in the North Sea, just off the western coast of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The island is surrounded by the Wadden Sea, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its unique natural landscape and diverse wildlife. Pellworm itself is a largely flat island, with a mix of grassy meadows, salt marshes, and sandy beaches. The island is dotted with traditional thatched-roof houses, small farms, and wind turbines. In the distance, visitors can see the silhouettes of other islands in the region, including Sylt and Föhr. The landscape is constantly changing due to the tides, and visitors can watch as the sea ebbs and flows, revealing vast mud flats teeming with life. Overall, the area around Pellworm is a unique and stunningly beautiful part of northern Germany.

Check the Conditions tab for current wave height, swell and wind. Review the Quality tab for the latest Environment Agency classification. Always read recent community reports for local knowledge.

When is the best time to swim here?

Check the Tides tab for today's high and low times. Many coastal spots are best around high tide when there's enough water depth, or during slack water when currents are weakest.
