About This Spot
Kleinwaabs is located on the eastern shore of the Lübeck Bay in northern Germany, facing east toward the Baltic Sea. The spot sits within a sheltered bay environment with agricultural land dominating the inland areas and organized campground/recreational facilities visible in the upper portion of the imagery. The water is typically choppy due to shallow depth and limited fetch, with average wave heights of only 0.32 meters. This is a protected bay spot suitable primarily for beginners and light-wind sessions. North winds (0°) provide optimal side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. Wind reliability is notably low at 24.3%, meaning consistent kitesurfing days are limited. Water temperatures average 10.2°C, requiring thermal protection year-round. The presence of moored boats, shallow areas, and the protected nature of the bay make this spot best suited for riders learning in controlled conditions rather than those seeking challenging waves or strong wind.
Hazards & Safety

Moored boats and anchored vessels
Agricultural runoff causing choppy water conditions
Low wind reliability (24.3%) limits session frequency
