Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Klausdorfer Strand is located on Fehmarn Island along the Bay of Mecklenburg, on Germany's Baltic coast. The spot faces eastward into a shallow bay with agricultural land dominating the hinterland. Water conditions are typically choppy with minimal wave development due to limited fetch and shallow depth. The bay provides natural protection from larger Atlantic swells but creates a wind-dependent environment. Average winds of 11.9 knots with 44.7% reliability indicate moderate and inconsistent conditions, characteristic of Baltic summer wind patterns. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters due to calm, predictable water conditions and absence of significant wave hazards. The shallow, protected bay allows riders to practice technique without heavy swell. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (side-shore), which align with the bay's east-facing orientation. Key considerations include low water consistency, the need for patience between wind windows, and awareness of small-scale residential boat traffic near the southern settlement. Water temperatures average around 10.4°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection.
