Altenteil Fehmarn

Altenteil on Fehmarn is a shallow lagoon enclosed by a long sandy spit barrier, located on the Baltic Sea coast of northern Germany. The spot features protected shallow water in a natural lagoon system with moderate tidal influence. The settlement visible in the satellite image indicates residential infrastructure and boat activity, which are permanent features of this location. The lagoon's shallow nature (typically 1-2m) makes it suitable for beginners and lighter wind conditions. With average wind of 11.9 knots and modest 0.46m average wave height, this is fundamentally a light-wind spot. Northwest (315°) winds provide side-shore conditions relative to the northeast-facing lagoon opening. The choppy water conditions result from tidal movement and wind interaction rather than ocean swell. Kiters should expect crowded conditions due to residential presence, monitor tidal cycles affecting water depth, and navigate around mooring fields. This spot suits beginners seeking protected, shallow-water practice in relatively mellow conditions but offers limited progression potential. Wind reliability of 43% indicates sessions are not guaranteed.
