Dameshöved

Dameshöved is located on Germany's Baltic coast in a shallow bay formed by agricultural polders and coastal reclamation. The coastline faces westward toward the water, with extensive flat agricultural fields backing the narrow beach. This protected bay setting creates choppy rather than organized wave conditions, with water depths varying significantly due to the polder landscape. Wind reliability is modest at 33%, with average winds around 10.5 knots limiting conditions to lighter wind days. The spot suits beginners and early intermediate kiters due to shallow, contained water and reduced wave exposure. Small average wave height (0.43m) and low water temperature (10.3°C) require appropriate gear selection. The agricultural setting means water quality varies seasonally. Kiters should be aware of depth changes and potential soft bottom conditions. Best conditions occur during side-shore northerly winds. The spot is most suitable for progression and practice rather than advanced maneuvers, with careful attention to local conditions essential due to moderate wind consistency.
