Heiligenhafen

This is a wave spot. There is also a lake where windsurf beginners go. But the spot at the sea is for kiters from upper intermediate level to pro level. The waves can get very high! A small footbridge and a slide are in the water. Kiting only in the marked kite zone. Great wave in NW winds on the west side which turn around the corner for clean waves. Here the windsurfers ride. Current with stronger NW and W wind. Best waves with NW. The beach is big with soft sand and good for launching your kite. Take care you are far away enough from some obstacles. About 400m to the East are houses close to the beach and wave breakers. Go to shore with enough distance. Some obstacles at the beach. Windsurfers ride further west, smaller beach, but parking just behind the dune with less distance to the water. The average wind is from 9-14 knots. NW is the best direction and offers great waves. The more West in the wind, the gustier the it gets. A wetsuit is necessary nearly all over the year. The water is between 5-20°C (spring to summer), air temperature is in the average 18°C (in summer) and can go up to 30°C. If you have the adequate wetsuit you can surf from April to November. Off-season is possible but very cold. Water: Flat, Chop, Smallwave, Mediumwave. Features: Rooms, Shower, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
