- Autumn is considered the ideal time for windsurfing in Europe: a high chance of storms, water that is still relatively warm, and plenty of uncrowded spots outside the peak season.
- The destinations listed cater for all ability levels: from flat-water and beginner spots to challenging wave spots with stormy conditions.
- Spots range from Zeeland, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, through Scandinavia, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, to Tarifa and Sardinia, some of which have specific seasonal timings.

Autumn holidays: Ten top tips for autumn

- In autumn and winter, Ireland’s west coast offers world-class surf spots such as Brandon Bay and Magheraroarty, with a variety of conditions suitable for advanced surfers.  
- Atlantic currents mean the water temperature is usually above 10 °C; however, from October onwards, a 4–6 mm wetsuit, hood and boots are required for sessions.  
- Most travellers arrive by ferry via the UK or France; there is plenty of accommodation available, and wild camping is generally tolerated in winter.

- The Tjeukemeer is Friesland’s largest inland lake, largely a shallow area (up to 2.2 m deep), with firm sandy bottoms and hardly any obstacles.  
- Spot Rohel offers good access with free parking, facilities, an official launch point and is suitable for sailing in almost all wind directions.  
- The area is a particularly good alternative to the IJsselmeer when the wind is from the east; it warms up quickly due to its shallow depth, although surf schools are only available on the IJsselmeer.

- Many spots have surf schools, hire centres, campsites or resorts, making surf sessions convenient and logistically simple.

- A 57-year-old participant in the ‘Baltic Crossing Challenge’ was found exhausted and suffering from hypothermia north-west of Warnemünde.

- The missing man’s position was determined using a tracker and information provided by the harbour masters; he was rescued, given medical attention and handed over to the emergency services.
