Ohrfeldhaff is a shallow bay kitesurfing spot located on the German coast in Schleswig-Holstein, facing northeast toward the Kiel Bay area. The spot features a protected bay environment with agricultural land and forested areas bordering the shore. Water conditions are consistently flat with minimal wave development (0.26m average), making this primarily a freestyle and light wind spot unsuitable for wave riding.
The bay's shallow nature provides safety advantages for beginners but requires attention to submerged obstacles and depth variations. Wind reliability is notably low at 23.1%, with average winds of 9.5 knots, indicating this spot requires patient waiting for adequate conditions. Northwest winds (315°) provide ideal side-shore conditions for safe launches and landings along the northeastern-facing shore.
This spot is best suited for beginners and intermediate riders seeking calm water practice, freestyle tricks, and light wind sessions. The protected bay setting reduces exposure to swell and strong currents. Summer months likely offer more consistent thermal wind development. Kiters should scout depth and underwater hazards carefully, avoid peak agricultural activity periods, and check local access regulations.
