Beach and Tide Conditions
Kitesurfing conditions
do not depend on Tide
on this spot.
Heiligenhafen, Germany is a
Flat, Chop, Small waves and Medium waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Big size.
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.
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.

Specially marked kite zone (oestlicher Steinwarder). Do not kite in the swimmers zone, which is almost everywhere. Better to avoid this beach in season while the buoys are out. For beginners it is strongly recommended not to use this spot but to use the spots at the island Fehmarn (Gold etc.). Windsurfer go further west where the beach is smaller but parking just behind the trees and beach.
