Püttsee Fehmarn

Püttsee on Fehmarn Island is a shallow bay located on Germany's Baltic coast, facing west toward the water. The spot features a narrow sandy beach strip backed by agricultural land and vegetation, with a protected bay environment providing relatively calm conditions. The water body is characterized by choppy conditions typical of shallow Baltic waters, with minimal wave development. Average wind speeds of 10.7 knots combined with low reliability (34.7%) make consistent sessions challenging. Best conditions occur with northerly winds, which provide side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water conditions with minimal swell exposure. The shallow depth throughout the bay reduces injury risk from falls and provides good visibility for learning. However, the limited wind reliability and small average wave height mean sessions may be infrequent. Kiters should be aware of submerged vegetation, shallow zones requiring careful navigation, and the protected nature of the bay limiting fetch. Most suitable for light-wind practice and skill development rather than progression.
