Friedrichsort

Friedrichsort is located on the eastern shore of Kiel Fjord, a large bay in northern Germany opening to the Baltic Sea. The spot features a protected bay environment with sandy beaches and shallow water conditions. The coastline faces east toward the water, with industrial and commercial development on the western side. The bay configuration creates a sheltered setting suitable for beginners, though fetch is limited due to the enclosed nature of the fjord. Side-shore winds from the north are optimal for kitesurfing here. Water conditions are typically flat to very small, making this spot better for learning than progression. The area receives moderate boat traffic from the nearby port and sailing activities. Low wind reliability (17.4% average) and modest average wind speeds (8.7 knots) mean sessions are inconsistent. Water temperatures remain cold year-round (averaging 10.3°C). This spot suits beginners seeking sheltered, protected conditions with minimal wave hazard, though visiting during higher wind forecasts is essential due to the generally light wind climate.
