About Heidkate
When it is windy there is a 1-2m wave. The waves are not really clean and most of the times choppy, but you can pretty good rip them, anyway. East wind makes a bigger wave than West wind. Northeast makes the biggest waves. Take care, every 200m is a mole, but you can ride behind them. About 20m shallow. Flat water between the moles. At about 200m from shore there is a shallow sandbar about 50m wide.
