You will have to put your car on a train to get it on the island. There is a youth hostel and that is all most of us can affort (believe me!). Rich people from all over Germany have houses and properties there and they do not want any surfing scumbags (my personal impression). You can get boards there, either from a shop or directly from one of Germanys few shapers.
Ride by bike along the upper promenade to the Cafe Sturmeck or start your walk right at the promenade across the huge sand bank. Walk in North-West direction. Best spots are between the fence of the seal bank and Cafe Sturmeck. Best days are after a storm, fabulous waves when wind comes then from offshore. Can be heavy at a storm, in 20 minutes you can drift away one kilometer.
Good wind directions are from West and North with 6+ Beaufort, because the spots at the West Beach depend on wind swell only. Off course good wind directions can also be from the Eastern directions to clean the swell from the storm on the day before.
There are parking lots at the beach.
There is a camping car place at the spot.
There are several other breaks along the beach, also in town, but more people there.
You may have problem to park your car. Still works with South Wind. just shove your car on the side of the street for a quick sesh. Otherwise, seek out a car park.
Due to the easy access and large car park with surf bar/restaurant it's a famous spot for travelers and locals. Waves are very reliable here and there are many peaks, although it is often quite crowded with surfers of mixed abilities dropping in relentlessly.
UPDATE: the parking lot is now closed to Camping Cars and vehicles over 1.80m
You should all start from the peak because of the wave is quite speed.But the shoulder always increase in front of you so you often need to accelerate butit is not really hard to surf.
