About This Spot
Rosengarten on Rügen Island is a protected bay area along Germany's Baltic coast, facing east toward the water. The spot features shallow, sheltered waters with visible mudflats and a patchwork of agricultural fields and grassland adjacent to the shore. This is a flat-water bay environment typical of the southern Baltic region, offering protection from open ocean swell.
The shallow, enclosed nature makes this suitable primarily for light-wind conditions and beginners seeking calm practice waters. With an average wind reliability of only 25% and minimal wave development (0.27m average), the spot is wind-dependent rather than wave-dependent. North winds provide ideal side-shore conditions for this east-facing bay. Water temperatures averaging 10.1°C require appropriate thermal protection year-round.
The spot suits beginners and those practicing flat-water tricks. Key considerations include monitoring soft bottom conditions, avoiding submerged vegetation, and being aware of shallow areas. The low wind reliability means sessions require careful weather planning. This location is better suited for training during favorable forecast windows rather than as a consistent year-round destination.
