About This Spot
Dänisch Nienhof is located on the east coast of the Lübeck Bay in northern Germany, where a sheltered lagoon area meets the deeper Baltic waters. The spot features a protected bay environment bordered by dense forest to the south and agricultural land, creating natural windbreaks. The presence of shallow sandbanks and a defined lagoon system indicates this is a protected coastal formation typical of the German Baltic coast. With average winds of 9.4 knots and low reliability, consistent conditions are limited. Wave heights averaging 0.32m suggest minimal swell exposure—conditions are primarily wind-dependent. The choppy water state indicates variable local wind patterns rather than organized swell. This spot suits beginners due to shallow water depths and protected conditions, though light winds mean sessions are seasonal and weather-dependent. Kiters should expect variable conditions, plan carefully during wind windows, and be aware of the shallow lagoon areas when launching and landing. The forest provides some shelter but limits wind strength.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water and sandbanks visible in lagoon area
Dense forest vegetation limiting landing zones
Agricultural land with potential obstacles near shore
Low wind reliability (23%) requires patience and planning
Small wave heights indicate limited swell exposure
