Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Pelzerhaken is a sheltered bay spot located on Germany's Baltic coast, facing south into the Lübeck Bay. The area features a developed coastal settlement with holiday accommodations, camping facilities, and residential properties bordering the beach. The water conditions are characteristically flat with minimal wave action (0.29m average), making this a pure flatwater destination suitable only for non-wave kitesports like freestyle or distance riding. Wind reliability is relatively low at 24.7%, with modest average wind speeds of 9.6 knots, requiring patience for suitable session conditions. The protected bay orientation provides side-shore conditions from easterly winds, though westerly winds from across the bay also work. The shallow, sandy bottom supports easy water entry and exit. This spot is best suited for beginners and intermediate riders seeking flatwater practice without wave concerns. The main consideration is waiting for adequate wind days, as the location's sheltered nature means consistent onshore or offshore wind is less frequent than exposed coastal areas. Respect the populated beach and be aware of the holiday season impacts on water usage.
