K4/Hörnum is a chill surf spot located about 15 minutes south of busy Westerland. This area is nice for a quiet surf session, thanks to its beautiful natural surroundings and soft, forgiving waves. Expect little to no crowds, making it a welcoming place for surfers looking to enjoy their time in the water.

The spot usually works best at mid to high tide, when the waves hold a nice shape. The optimal swell direction is SouthWest, but it can also handle swells from the South and NorthWest. The wave sizes can be decent even at low swell of around 1ft (about 0.3 meters), and you can catch waves breaking both left and right over sand. It’s a great spot for beginners, so if you’re just starting out, K4/Hörnum is a solid choice.

When you’re planning your session, keep in mind that the best wind direction is from the SouthEast. This will help to create more favorable conditions. Also, look out for the fish traps in the area while you’re surfing. Overall, K4/Hörnum offers a relaxed vibe and is a decent spot to hone your skills.
