Overview

• DWD expects winds to pick up Friday and strengthen overnight into Saturday, with gusts around 65–85 km/h inland and heavier gusts over open sea and Heligoland.
• NLWKN projects a light storm surge of about 1 meter above mean high tide late Saturday in Emden, Wilhelmshaven and Bensersiel, rising to up to 1.5 meters Sunday morning.
• The Spiekeroog fast ferry WattnExpress is already canceled to move the vessel to a planned shipyard stay ahead of the storm.
• The island of Langeoog warns of possible cancellations on Sunday morning departures, and the operator Norden-Frisia signals potential changes on services to Juist.
• Authorities note light storm surges are common in the season and usually manageable for coastal defenses, but beaches and harbor areas may flood and travelers are urged to check ferry information before departure.
