Gollendorf Fehmarn

Gollendorf is a sheltered lagoon area on Fehmarn Island in the Baltic Sea, separated from open water by dikes and natural barriers. The spot features shallow, enclosed water with vegetation and grassy areas dominating the landscape. The lagoon environment provides protected conditions with minimal wave exposure, making it primarily suitable for beginners and light-wind sessions. The southern-facing coastline and enclosed geography create side-shore conditions with easterly winds (90°). However, the location suffers from low wind reliability at 30.7% and modest average wind of 10.3 knots, limiting session frequency. Choppy water conditions and 0.39m average waves indicate wind-driven chop rather than organized swell. This spot suits beginners learning body-dragging and basic maneuvers in protected, shallow water. The main challenges are inconsistent wind, shallow depths requiring careful navigation around obstacles, and limited space for riding. Launch and landing areas appear restricted due to surrounding agriculture and infrastructure. Best suited for light-wind freestyle practice rather than riding progression.
