About This Spot
Razim Lake is a large shallow lagoon system on Romania's Black Sea coast, featuring extensive brackish water and marshy terrain. This spot consists of protected lagoon waters separated from the open sea by barrier islands and sandbars. The area is characterized by extremely calm, choppy conditions with minimal wave energy (0.47m average), making it suitable primarily for flat-water kitesurfing practice. The lagoon's shallow depth and murky water require careful navigation around submerged hazards and vegetation. Wind conditions are highly unreliable at only 11.5% wind days annually, with modest average winds of 7.6 knots—marginal for consistent kitesurfing. Best wind direction is from the northwest (315°) for side-shore conditions relative to the northeast-facing shore. This spot suits beginners and light-wind specialists seeking calm water for learning or flat-water tricks, but low wind frequency and minimal waves limit its appeal for progression. Water temperature averages 13.7°C, requiring thermal protection. The remote, natural lagoon setting offers solitude but limited amenities or rescue infrastructure.
