“Borkum is the westernmost and largest of the East Frisian islands. An offshore sandbank takes the bite out of the North Sea swell and creates comparatively easy conditions – beginners find their place here too. The wide, gently shelving beach makes the spot surfable in almost any wind direction; southeast, however, comes through gusty and turbulent off the dunes and buildings. Reliable summer wind runs April to October, the stronger southwest and northwest systems with the lows more from autumn ”
