Probably rather dirty because just next to Elbe lane. Mud is smelly. Tidal spot. If water at Kugelbake gets too shallow you can move on to this spot. Therefore: rideable from 3 hours before low tide until 3 hours afterwards. (During hide tide the water possible but deep!). If you are lucky nice sets of 1-2m waves roll in. Otherwise rather choppy. During low tide water gets very shallow. Then only a narrow strip can be used. Overall the spot will be crowed if there are 5-10 kiters, depending on the water level. On low tide you can walk for about 250m to the water, but only in NE and E winds. But be careful with the strong current and the close by fairway. Never go out alone! Close to shore rocky wave breakers which are under the surface on high tide. No beach. Pump up your gear on the dyke. If there are tourists around, launch your kite with a partner in the water! Slippery access on low tide via the ramp. Can be dangerous and only recommended to expert riders. Intermediate should launch from the water. Lots of obstacles on shore. Because the spot is a bay labels onshore or sideonshore can't be determined consequently. If the wind is too onshore, just move further down the bay and it will get more sideshore. Works in N, NE, E and SE. Air 20-30°C in August, water about 18°C. Season starts in April and ends in October. Off-season kiting possible but rather rare in water around 2°C and air around 2-5°C. Wetsuit always needed. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Smallwave. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
