General Information
Level:10-10 Season:January 1 — December 31 -
Dockkoog is an ocean spot situated close to the National park Schleswig Holsteinisches. It sits on a tiny peninsular in a bay carved out by the North Sea. This place should only be used by windsurfers, kite surfers and surfers of expert abilities because of the number of potential hazards found here. Sailors also frequently use this bay. There are zones marked by buoys that you need to be aware of. There is no season here, but beware of crowds in the summer time.
-
Beach
-
There is no sand here, only grassy dunes which lead to a concrete shoreline. The beach is medium sized but gets very congested in April through to September, as there is a campsite very close by .The beach itself is located around 5 kms west of Husum which is the nearest town.
-
Wind&Waves
-
The wind speed averages around 9-10 knots most of the year, however in September through to December the winds really pick up, culminating in averaging around 23 knots through the month of December. The winds are frontal as well as some pretty strong thermal breezes also. They predominantly come from the west but are prone to change direction at the drop of a hat causing the water to become pretty tidal. The water itself is generally cloudy with choppy to small wave conditions most of the time. The water temperature hovers at around 15 degrees in the summer but drops to around 3-4 degrees in the winter months.
-
Facilities
-
There is parking here, but fees may apply during the summer months. There is a campsite immediately behind the beach which offers accommodation, toilet and shower facilities as well as eating establishments. The small town of Husum has shops for your supplies, but if you prefer a little more nightlife, then Hamburg is your best bet.
-
Safety
-
There are lots of safety issues here that you need to be aware of….Strong undercurrents is something that you especially need to be aware of. Look out for the strategically placed wave breakers/groynes dotted along the shoreline. Be mindful of passing boats and ships. There are also some pretty large rocks in the water that are exposed at low tide, together with stakes.
