Hiiumaa Island

Hiiumaa Island's western bay features a protected coastal setup with sandy beaches backing dense coniferous forest. The bay configuration creates moderate wind acceleration with reasonable fetch from the northwest. Water appears relatively sheltered with visible shallow areas near the shoreline transitioning to deeper bay waters. The narrow passages between the island's protrusions can create tidal current effects. Average wind conditions of 13.2 knots with 55% reliability suggest variable performance, typical for Baltic Sea microclimates. This spot suits intermediate kiters seeking protected conditions with moderate swell. The shallow near-shore areas require awareness of water depth, particularly during low tide. The forest backdrop and bay configuration provide some wind channeling but limit pure open-water conditions. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore approach to the main bay. The rough-chop water type indicates wind-generated texture rather than organized swell. Access appears straightforward from visible clearings and roads through the forest.
