Kreptitz Rügen

Kreptitz is a coastal spot on Rügen Island in the German Baltic Sea, situated in a protected bay with a northwest-facing shoreline. The spot features a sandy beach backed by agricultural land and scattered residential development, with forested areas providing some wind obstruction. The shallow bay waters are typically choppy rather than wave-producing, making this location suited for light-wind kitesurfing rather than wave riding. Best conditions occur with northeast winds that provide side-shore to side-onshore approaches. With average winds of 11.3 knots and only 36.2% reliability, sessions are inconsistent. Water temperatures average 10.2°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The sheltered bay environment and low wave energy make this suitable for beginners and those seeking flat-water practice. Key considerations include variable depth near shore, limited fetch for wave development, and the need to monitor wind windows carefully given low reliability. The spot works best during wind direction shifts toward the northeast quadrant.
