Can be very tough in onshore winds to get out, due to the shore break. From 3-4m big waves with lots of power to small choppy waves. 3m tide. Be aware of long rock lines (ca. 20m into the sea) every 100-200m from Westerland to Kampen. You can't see them while high tide! But they are marked with a sign on the beach. Strong current when its coming from South or North.

Sylt is an island in the North Sea, next to the border with Denmark. By train to Westerland. By car to Niebuell, then on a train shuttle to Westerland or to Romo (Denmark), then by ferry to List/Sylt. The ferry is cheaper, the car train is very expensive! Drive North from Westerland and follow the signs to Kampen. Turn to the beach in Kampen or behind.
Watch the wave breakers in the water.
Small nightlife in Kampen and Westerland, mainly in summer.
