Storm surge

Howling winds, stormy waves, and pounding rain—a storm surge is a fascinating natural spectacle. Although St. Peter-Ording and the Eiderstedt Peninsula are well protected from the North Sea by dunes, dikes, and coastal protection measures, you should by no means underestimate the destructive power of the North Sea.
