About tides at Sylt-Westerland
Sylt is the long thin island that runs along the northern German coast at the Danish border, a forty-kilometre strip of dunes, beach, and the open North Sea on its western flank. Westerland is the main town in the middle of the island, and the open beach there is the reference point for everything else. Mean tide range on the west coast is about 1.8 metres, semidiurnal, two highs and two lows about twelve and a half hours apart. Spring tides push to around 2.2 metres, neaps drop near 1.4. The Wadden side of the island, sheltered behind the dunes on the east, drains and refills the same way the rest of the southern Bight does — the tideflats out toward Keitum and List open up completely on the ebb. For anyone walking the kilometres of open beach from Westerland north to Kampen, paddleboarding the lagoon at Hörnum, or watching the surf at Sylt's open-coast breaks, the timing of the swing changes the day. Predictions on this page come from Open-Meteo Marine, gridded model output — useful for planning, not navigation-grade. BSH operates the authoritative German tide gauges; the closest to Sylt is Pegel List.
