Falshöft

Falshöft is a shallow bay spot located on Germany's North Sea coast in Schleswig-Holstein, facing northeast into the Lübeck Bay. The site features a gently sloping sandy bottom with residential development immediately adjacent to the beach, creating a compact launch area. The bay provides relatively flat to small wave conditions, making it suitable for light wind riders and beginners developing their skills. Wind reliability is modest at 34%, with average winds around 11 knots, suggesting this spot performs best during seasonal weather systems. The northeast-facing coastline receives optimal side-shore conditions from northwesterly (315°) winds. Water temperatures average 10°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The proximity of houses and infrastructure limits launch space, while the shallow bay reduces fetch and wave generation. Kiters should be mindful of local boat traffic and respect residential areas. This spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking a sheltered practice environment rather than demanding wave conditions.
