Kartoffelkiste Wenningstedt is a popular surf spot located on the island of Sylt. It attracts surfers looking for consistent waves and a lively beach vibe. The area is known to get pretty crowded when the surf's up, especially in the summer months when the big beach scene is in full swing. With easy access, it's a favorite for both locals and visitors alike.

This spot works best with a swell coming from the Northwest, but it can also handle swells from the Southwest and North. It typically holds swell sizes starting from 1 ft (about 0.3 meters) and breaks over sand, making it a beach break. Surfers can expect left and right waves, which are suitable for intermediate skill levels. The best time to surf here is during mid to high tide, and if the wind is coming from the east, the conditions are usually better for riding the waves.

When you’re out in the water, it’s important to be respectful of the lifeguards and follow their instructions to keep things smooth in the lineup. The beach has amenities like camping and surf schools, which can enhance your surfing experience if you’re looking to take lessons or enjoy the beach atmosphere.
