A DAY AT SANKT PETER ORDING | One of Germany's favorite beaches! (Is it always like this?!)

[@jerrihadding2534]

Hi! I lived in Husum for nearly ten years and frequently visited Sankt Peter Ording. Weather changes can be abrupt! Once I was there with three other female friends and a seven year old niece. We were experiencing gorgeous sunny weather on the nude side of the beach, when we were suddenly overwhelmed by a violent COLD rain storm. It rained so hard that we didn’t even have the possibility to get dressed, but ran to our car naked, arriving thoroughly drenched with our rather soggy clothes clutched to our chests. (Plus, of course, beach blanket, towels and our picnic.) We were all laughing hysterically. THEN we had to get dressed. Imagine five naked bodies packed into a car attempting to dress from the skin out, all with chattering teeth while constantly bursting into gales of laughter! I still laugh whenever I remember this incident.

This kind of weather is more common in the winter. I love it. The wind feels like its blowing all your worries away and purifies your soul. Also it is so calm. It’s just you and the stormy sea. There is nothing better to come back from a windy walk on the beach and warm up with hot chocolate or tea.

[@hans-dieternichau5467]

Germany hat fast 1600 Kilometer Strand da findet sich immer ein Platz der einem gefällt ! An der Nordsee ist das Klima etwas rauer als an der Ostsee was ich gerne mag ! Für Kinder finde ich die Ostsee besser zum Baden !

I used to live close to St. Peter Ording. You should definitely go back in July, August or September. You’ll have a lot of sunshine, warm weather and it’s so nice to go swimming or just walk on the beach. Also a fun fact, the air at the North Sea is so good for you, a lot of people with asthma problems or skin issues go there for rehabilitation

Büsum - was an Island in the past. but this made it to a part of the mainland: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatenrecht „Keen nich will dieken, de mutt wieken“ is nearly englisch, because much words in english came from "Anglo-Saxons"...

[@Milalein]

Yes, it is very often like this - I love it. If people are looking for sun and warmth, they are unfortunately wrong on the german North Sea Coast. Summer on the North Sea starts later, but lasts länger. I love the wind there! If people are okay with sudden weather changes it can be great. I got the worst sunburns on the North Sea Coast, not in Spain, France or anywhere else

[@funtastiker]

I made my holidays for several years in St Peter Ording and one year we had the whole time weather like you. But I told to my son, we will go every day in the sea, we go not running, because only walking in the water is cool. next year we come back and my son said, I hope we will have bad weather, I asked him why? And he said, because then we can show, that we are more cool than all other. And the waves are very nice when there is bad weather.

[@brittariedel3446]

You seem to have had bad luck with the weather. Yes, the weather can be like you experienced but it can also be sunny and warm and calm. Especially in July or August. But you need to be prepared for rain and cold and wind, too. It is always windy at the Nordsee. But if you have 30 degrees in summer it is a very welcomed breeze... Just cling to what we locals always say: " there is no bad weather, just wrong clothing " 😉. With small kids, I would always bring a hat to protect the ears from the wind, even in summer. Kids easily can get an ear infection...

[@IIHerrKulesII]

In the first weeks of June there is a Weatherphenomenon called: "Eisheilige". The cold Air from the North Pole comes down and the warm air from the mediterainian See does not have much enough power to push it back. After that, the Summer already beginns in northern Germany and the beaches are beautiful. Maybe you have to enjoy this later thid year. Drive to Fehmarn, thats the most sunny part of northern Germany.

You have weeks of sun and swimming and just a normal beach life like in the US or Greece at most german beaches :D I dont know when you filmed this, but right now it looks different and will probably be until September with the occasional rainy german summer week :D May was a little fresh and windy. The begining of June too wasnt it? I dont remember. I wouldnt expect summer to hit before June 21st each year thats a pretty safe bet for planning vacations :D May is also not a summer month here so I wouldnt expect a lot of sun in May. Best regards

[@Anson_AKB]

weather between winter and summer can be quite different in each year. as the most extreme (decades ago in Berlin), i still remember to have the first flowers (outside! :-) at the end of february in one year, and some snowfall (although not staying on the ground) in the second week of may in another.

[@manub.3847]

In the last two decades, the weather has become clearly "unstable" for all to see. Today you can expect three days temperatures around 15°C and wind and rain and the following four days temperatures around 25°C+ with sun and or thunderstorms. In the previous decades, times tended to be more constant, with changes in the weather occurring more in a 14-20 day rhythm. And yes, on the coast itself there can be quite abrupt weather changes. (Similar to in the mountains) Between 2010 and 2012 it got really cold in the north for the last time.

[@jensschroder8214]

3:07 This is the typical clothing in Northern Germany! There is wind there only 400 days a year, otherwise there is no wind. 4:20 and sand in all clothes is free. The kids don't care if the adults are naked, the main thing is the playground is good.

[@Warentester]

You brought umbrellas to Northern Germany? You've experienced the wind yourself - Umbrellas are utterly useless here. Good that you left them in the car.

summers have been pretty great in Germany, at least for the last 50 some years i remember. i think the ocean has a lot to do with the different experience between North and South in Germany. The south has overall better weather i think. Here in the US we are looking at temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit right now. roughly 40 Celsius. AC is a must. no need for beanies :) My recommendation for friends asking when to visit Germany, i always recommend end of August through September. Nice reliably warm weather, not super hot which sucks without AC, and you can tick off Octoberfest at the end.

[@corinnaschmidt9735]

I LOVE St. Peter! It's always windy. The rough North Sea wind is good for the lungs. The air is salty and makes you really tired. I'm always good there! And I love this wide beach. At low tide you can usually not even see the sea. Just beautiful for me. I already had nice weather in St. Peter. Apparently it's always windy.

[@decowomen]

I lived in St. Peter -Ording for two years. During the summer I only remember a handful of days where it was hot enough (for me 😅) to actually go into the cold north sea. It is also always windy. But the long sand beaches are beautiful. I also miss the sunsets

[@Al69BfR]

What I always liked when vacationing at the North Sea was visiting the Frisian Islands (or even stay in an apartment i.e on Amrum or Föhr) and/or the „Halligen“ (those islands with those artificial hills on it where all the houses are built on, because during a storm flood those are the only areas that keep looking out of the water)

[@pinkhope84]

Yes Amrum 🙌

[@hamdepaf6686]

This area is my childhood, while my family lives more in the middle of germany, my fathers family is from northern germany so we often visit. I am absolutely in love with windy rainy weather and even prefer it to sunny beaches. (there are also very beautyfull stone beaches that I like a lot more than sandy ones) There is something magical about the solitude you get from a walk along the shore. A big must when you are there is a "Wattwanderung" the Watt is something pretty unique in the whole world, but be sure you don't just do it on your own, it is incredebly dangerous whitout a guide.

[@hamdepaf6686]

Also yes, the weather is normal.

[@Uhrenfreund.]

It is always windy on the coast. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Stronger at the North Sea than at the Baltic Sea. The air at the North Sea is also more ozone-containing, because it is an open sea, with more and larger wave movements. Makes again to the summer time a visit. You will like it much more! 😁😁 Thank you for the beautiful video. 👍 🙋🏼♂️

[@hannofranz7973]

North Sea and Baltic Sea have an entirely different character. One is flat coastline, rough open sea - despite the wadden sea - cold and strong winds, sudden weather changes, really cold water. The other one hilly landscape with cliffs, chilly but rather mild, with a fresh breeze, water temperatures between cold and warm depending on the season and weather. At the North Sea it hardly ever gets hot.

The weather in the north is absolutely unpredictable during summer. If you're lucky you get sun and 40°, if not you may even face a tornado. It even may change a few times during the day. The good thing is rainshowers never last long. Just be extra carefull during thunderstorms cause the lightnings don't get caught by mountains. And don't touch the red jellyfish! Blue ones are ok to touch.

You should still go to one of the smaller islands in the North Sea! The weather is usally a little better out there. More than once you could see heavy clouds over the mainland but the wind blowing towards the mainland kept them there. I spend the first 10 summer vacations of my live on Baltrum starting as with age 0 (about 4 month). But even on the islands you can get bad weather. Guess who was sent out in the rain to get the paper and fresh bread rolls, poor little me once I was old enough with 4 or 5: 🤣 Btw Baltrum is one of the car free islands and the smallest of the East Frisian Islands. Best time to go there is probably from mid July til the end of August, which is also peak season on the islands. You will have to start looking for an accomdation really early. Some families here in NRW make their reservation for the next year when they check out.

[@Hallands.]

Hi! My family had a summer house a bit north of Vadehavet, at Søndervig in Denmark, where I spent every summer holiday growing up. Weather conditions are largely the same, although the weather changes faster near the English Channel. So I’ve had summers where I look like a negro on photos from a deep tan and lots of sun and bathing, but also one summer where it rained constantly the entire vacation. The lower parts between the dunes became little lakes, but even that was an adventure, because we could sail our model boats and walk right along beside them, not risking difficult salvaging maneuvers like on real lakes, when a boat got stuck and the water was deep and muddy…

Luckily an arm og the warm Golf-stream runs through the English Channel and up along the Danish west coast…

[@Flugkaninchen]

I think Sank Peter-Ording ist mostly popular with the locals because it's the only sand beach on the North Sea that can be reached by car, so that it's suitable for a spontaneous day trip! I've experienced all kinds of weather there from more than 30°C to snow on the beach, with kids sleighing down the dykes do to lack of hills. You can spot the locals easily, by the way. They usually walk barefoot from Easter to October and wear Wellies in the winter. Combining beanie hats, hoodies and rain jackets with shorts or jeans with rolled-up legs is not uncommon. 😁

[@oXSimonXo]

Looks like you have been hit by a "Kältezunge" which is cool air coming over the North Sea from Scandinavia. It is only "normal" for the North Sea coastal areas in the sense of it might be happening every other summer and it'll probably last for a few days, maybe up to a week. After that the sun should very much come back and on days with around 20°C the beaches should fill up again! 🏖️ Glad you enjoyed your trip up north! It's definitely a beautiful area to experience as a tourist and an even better region to live as a German resident. All the best, moin from Hamburg ⚓

These beaches are practically a dune. And I remember very well how you can literally get sandblasted if there is wind like that... But you also get big waves from the open sea, as there is no flat or island in the way there. Can be very fun, IF it's warm enough to swim. (And that's by everyone's own definition ;) )

I recommend Drachenfest Römö. Römö is the southernmost danish island in the North Sea. But you can go by car, too. Maybe you rent a van and take the campsite at the beach. That’s what most of the people do. So you have to book in advance. In my experience late summer is the best time for sunny weather at the North Sea. Wind is one of the reasons to go there 😁. But it varies. The water will be warmer in the end of summer, too. Even if it’s overcast: you should use sunscreen! This was fun to watch. Makes me want to be there 💨🌊🪁

[@Yazume]

I spend july and august of every year there. The weather can be quite rough since it's the north sea and beaches at the north sea don't usually have constant beautiful weather like beaches in other parts of the world but I personally like the cold and inconsistent climate a lot. Of course it's nice to spend a sunny day there but it gets really crowded on a "good" day and I think the days with rougher weather where there aren't many people at the beach have a unique feeling to them that you only get if the weather isn't perfect, especially in the morning. Maybe it's just because I've been visiting Sankt Peter Ording annually for basically my entire life so I feel a certain connection to the beach but I've always thought it was a lot more beautiful and interesting than mediterranean sea or pacific beaches. And about the nude beach: I think the reason why it's basically not separated from the rest of the beach is because Germans are more open towards nudity than others. They never put a privacy barrier or anything up, it's just a lot more accepted to see someone naked on a beach in germany. I think you could even go into the water naked on another part of the beach and most people wouldn't really care

[@erwien58]

Oh, I'm a little jealous! You were there where we always vacation in the summer. We love the North Sea coast and the North Frisian Islands, especially the island of Amrum. You were on the neighboring island, Föhr. I once did a guided mudflat hike from Föhr to Amrum with our daughter (16 years old at the time), quite extraordinary! And it was hot, very hot! Without wind! But you always have to reckon with rapid weather changes on the coast. The weather can change from rainy to sunny and clear skies, and vice versa, within 15 minutes. But that's normal. And it's never wrong to take a good rain jacket (Goretex or similar, not plastic) with you. We've seen and experienced so much along the coast, including seals (not the same), and there's always something new to discover. Hopefully we can spend a vacation in North Friesland again next year, even if everything has become more expensive. Let's see. For tent - camping we are already too old. Our daughter is now 18 and doing her "own thing" in the summer. And that's just as well!

[@OurStorytoTell]

That’s such a cool experience to mud hike to Amrum though! Crazy how fast the weather does change in the North of Germany! 😊

[@pkorobase]

When our kids were young the favorite place to go with toddlers was the island Pellworm. there is only a ferry, no bridge, so there are (nearly) no day tourists. and it doesnt have much sand, but mud around, which is fun for kids. and it has fenced little places beyond the dike, so the sheep wont interfere, and the kids cant run away. inside theres a little playground and some strandhuts. great for relaxing. if you rent a room in a farm, your kids can see when the animals are fed, maybe even help.

Trust me, if you´ll be there on a sunny day, you dont need to go to Spain, Greece etc. If you really want to visit a German Island, I would highly recommend Amrum. Weather is kind of the same lottery, but the beach is amazing. Google it and youll see what I mean ;) If you stay for a few more days in Schleswig-Holstein, try to visit Husum, Flensburg and Haithabu/Hedeby. Beautiful places.

Check out HELGOLAND!!!! MUST SEE!!!!! From Büsum in a Ship.....woth it!Kiek in!

[@ninan9650]

Absolutely! Alternatively you can go from Hamburg or Cuxhaven. However, the best advise is to stay at least one night to experience the island with less daytourists, otherwise it feels like Venice in high Season. The history from Helgoland is also extraordinary. It was planned to blow up the whole island and it did not worked, because of the sand stone.

Greetings from Cuxhaven, Hope you liked it here. Next time bringe here as a Guide for the wadden sea i will Show the Nationalpark Wattenmeer

If you're still in the area you might want to come to Kiel. Kieler Woche is on this year for the first time since two years and it's going until Sunday. Just google it, it's one of the biggest fests in northern Germany

If you think about renting an RV I would recommend going to Denmark. We did that when our kids were young. The island of Rømø has a drive on beach were you can enyoy a vast sandy beach with shallow warm pools and have your mobile home including shower with you ( no overnight parking 😅).

I live close to the North Sea, the weather can be very rough in summer, and it changes from day to day. There are hot summers with less wind, and there are summers with rain and stormy days.

hello from st. peter Ording

👋👋 so fun to have someone live there comment! What a cool place to live!

[@sakutaro3musik486]

June is a difficult time in the north because we have very cold and very hot days. So the avarage might look close to July and August, but it really isn´t because one day might be really hot and the other really cold. Best time to be in the north is August since there most days are pretty hot, the problem is that half of germany comes to the north in summer and the beaches are full XD

[@elmarwinkler6335]

Dear fam, we have been to SPO last year around Oktober and the weather was fine. Wind is always a thing (that is why we Germans build this wind turbine parks into the North Sea). But the cold and rain we not yet have experienced. But we'll take a lot to read with us coming September/Oktober and there is the Bath-Center, where you can get warm again. There is a joke about the sheep and their fur AND the sheep need the wind, because they would topple over without, they are a bit lopsided. GRIN, stay safe and warm, South German Greetings.

North Sea and Baltic Sea too, are very rough. But the rough weather is not so often normaly in summer. 1-2 Days an then the weather changes to sunny, that is normal. Some weaks there is it hotter than on the Mediterran Sea.
