Lensterstrand

Lensterstrand is a beach break located on the southern coast of the Bay of Lübeck in northern Germany. The spot faces south toward the open water, with a wide sandy beach backed by residential development and camping facilities. The water conditions are typically choppy with small average wave heights of 0.43m, making this location more suitable for flatwater kitesurfing than wave riding. Wind reliability is moderate at 24.5% with average winds around 9.5 knots, requiring patience for consistent sessions. The shallow nearshore water and proximity to populated beach areas make this a beginner-friendly spot, though kiters must be aware of swimmers and maintain safe distances from the shore infrastructure. Best conditions occur with easterly or westerly winds that provide side-shore access. Water temperatures average around 10°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The spot works best during shoulder seasons when wind patterns are more consistent and beach crowds are reduced.
