About This Spot
Kolobrzeg is situated on the Baltic Sea coast of Poland, featuring a protected bay enclosed by substantial breakwaters and harbor infrastructure. The spot consists of a sheltered lagoon-like bay with a sandy beach backed by dense vegetation and urban development. The distinctive curved jetties visible in imagery provide wave protection but create navigation hazards. Water quality appears compromised by algae blooms and river discharge, indicated by the green discoloration. With average wind of only 9.6 knots and 24.5% reliability, this is a marginal kitesurfing destination. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds (45°) that provide side-shore flow along the northwest-facing coastline. The shallow, choppy water and 0.71m average waves suit only beginners in specific conditions. Harbor traffic, breakwaters, and shallow zones require careful route planning. This spot functions primarily as a local option during optimal wind windows rather than a dedicated kitesurfing destination. Summer months may offer better wind consistency than current averages suggest.
