North Sea

- In the summer of 2026, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea were almost 1 °C warmer than usual; at 15.6 °C, the North Sea recorded its fifth-warmest summer since 1997.  
- Off Heligoland, there were already 66 days of marine heatwaves in 2026; new record highs were recorded, particularly in the southern North Sea and the English Channel.  
- Warmer seas are altering habitats, driving species shifts, causing algal blooms and oxygen depletion, contributing to sea-level rise and exacerbating climate change.

- Clearer water in the Kleines Meer encourages rapid algae growth; the lake becomes almost completely overgrown in summer, making water sports virtually impossible.  
- The cause is the invasive freshwater mussel, which filters the water and thus allows more light to reach aquatic plants; it settles particularly at the edge of the dredging pit.  
- Algae and browsing by geese and nutrias are displacing common reed; despite concerns from water sports enthusiasts, the authorities currently see little need for action.

Features: Hot summers, invasive species – the ‘Little Sea’ is expanding

- The guide features ten shallow-water spots on the North Sea and Baltic Sea, ideal for speed, manoeuvre training and freestyle in mostly shallow water.
- North Sea mudflat areas such as Büsum, Norderney, Neuharlingersiel and Borkum offer world-class speed and freestyle spots, some of which are heavily dependent on the tides.
- Baltic Sea spots such as Salzhaff, Saaler Bodden, Maasholm, Schaproder Bodden and Großenbrode stand out for their good infrastructure, large shallow areas and wind windows.

- The guide features numerous campsites in northern Germany situated right next to surf spots on the Baltic and North Seas, often with pitches right by the water’s edge.  
- Most of these sites offer shallow areas or moderate shallow water for beginners, whilst some also feature distinct wave spots for experienced surfers.  
- Many sites have surf schools, equipment hire, shops and catering facilities; some have been modernised or rebuilt following the storm surge of 2023.

- Different spots such as Wyk, Nieblum and Utersum cover a wide range of conditions from beginner to speed surfing; there is no surf, but currents are important.  
- Tidal currents and oyster belts are dangerous, alternative offers include cycling, museums, saunas, excursions to Amrum, Sylt and the Halligen islands.
