About This Spot
Lindhöft is a sheltered lagoon spot located along Germany's Baltic coast, characterized by very shallow, choppy water separated from open sea by natural barriers. The site features a protected camping area immediately adjacent to the launch zone, indicating popular recreational use and pedestrian traffic. The lagoon's shallow depth (evidenced by visible bottom ripples) and enclosed nature make it suitable primarily for beginners and light-wind sessions. Wind reliability is notably low at 20.2%, suggesting this is a marginal spot dependent on specific meteorological conditions. The northeast-facing coastline benefits most from northeast (45°) winds for proper side-shore conditions, though prevailing winds may not frequently align with ideal directions. Water temperatures average 10.2°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The immediate proximity of the campground creates potential collision hazards and necessitates awareness of non-kiter activity. This spot suits riders developing foundational skills in protected, flat-water conditions but offers limited progression potential and inconsistent wind patterns.
