Sylt K4 Kitesurf Spot in Sylt

K4, located at kilometer 4 from Hörnum, is a spacious parking lot between the Sansibar and Hörnum. There are no groynes, and at low tide, the very shallow sloping beach provides a variety of channels and bays. This spot offers almost flat water conditions, and with some experience, you can transition into moderate waves. The spot is also used as a starting point for a downwind trip to Westerland during SW or SSW winds.

For wave enthusiasts and advanced kitesurfers, they also offer training at the most beautiful spot on the west coast: K4 (kilometer 4 from Hörnum), also known as Bunker Hill. Two parking lots south of the famous Sylter beach restaurant Sansibar, there is an elevated viewpoint on the western side that offers an overwhelming view of the island's west coast - it's worth the climb up! North of the entrance to the viewpoint, the path leads to the spot. During low tide, smaller channels with flat water areas can form, and the waves usually break in a more orderly fashion with more distance from the shore, making it easier for beginners to get through the surf. Suitable wind directions here are all winds from the north, south, and/or west.

K4 is located at kilometer 4 from Hörnum, and you can park your car at the spacious parking lot between the Sansibar and Hörnum. From the elevated viewpoint, you can access the spot, and it's also the starting point for a downwind trip to Westerland during SW or SSW winds. Getting to the K4 spot is relatively easy. Simply drive along the L24 from Westerland towards Hörnum, and after about 10 minutes, you'll pass the town of Rantum. From there, continue driving for another 10 minutes until you reach the fifth parking lot on the right-hand side (or the last one before Hörnum). Park your car and walk for about 5 minutes through the dunes to reach the spot.
