Aschau

Aschau is a sheltered lagoon spot located on Germany's Baltic coast, characterized by a shallow enclosed water body separated from the open sea by a sandy barrier beach. The lagoon features calm, protected conditions with minimal wave development, making it primarily suitable for flat-water kitesurfing and progression. The spot shows residential development along the northern shore with mooring facilities, indicating moderate human activity. Water color variations suggest varying depths and possible seasonal algae presence. The narrow connection to the open water limits fetch and wave generation. Best conditions occur with north-easterly winds (45°) providing side-shore direction relative to the lagoon's north-west facing shore. The sheltered nature and shallow water make this spot ideal for beginners and those learning tricks and freestyle maneuvers. Limited wave potential means this location is unsuitable for wave riding. Water temperature and low wind reliability (17%) indicate spring-autumn as the preferred season. Kiters should be aware of shallow depths, potential obstacles, and the enclosed environment's limitations.
