Volunteers quickly arrived on the scene and spotted the windsurfer who was "making progress to safety" near to Dee sailing club.
After meeting the windsurfer, they found they were "well equipped" and safety advice was offered.
A spokesman said: "A big thank you to RNLI West Kirby Lifeboat who were also tasked and given the poor visibility thoroughly searched the area around where the reports had been given to make sure nobody else was in difficulty.
"With no further persons in trouble all teams were stood down."
The incident has sparked safety advice for those who witness someone in potential difficulty:
- If you see anyone in difficulty at the coast immediately dial 999 for the Coastguard.
- If you can safely do so, keep visual contact with the casualty.
- Report any change in location or direction of drift.
- Make yourself known to emergency services when they arrive and quickly pass over all relevant information
