About This Spot
Langballig is a sheltered lagoon-style kitesurfing spot located on the Schlei fjord in southern Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The spot features a protected basin with a marina on the western side and designated flat-water area to the east. The shallow lagoon provides calm, forgiving conditions ideal for beginners and intermediate riders learning fundamental skills. Northwesterly winds (315°) provide optimal side-shore conditions parallel to the beach access. The sandy beach and gradual water entry create safe progression zones. Wind reliability at 27.6% suggests this is a fair-weather spot requiring patience between sessions. Water temperatures around 10°C necessitate thermal protection year-round. The primary limitation is boat traffic from the active marina, requiring awareness of vessel movements. Hazards include shallow muddy areas and mooring lines. Best suited for learning wave-free progression and flat-water tricks. Experienced riders seeking challenging conditions should seek alternative North Sea or Baltic exposed breaks.
