Schausende is a sheltered bay kitesurfing spot located in northern Germany along a northeast-facing shoreline. The spot features a protected marina with organized boat moorings, backed by residential development and manicured sports facilities. The bay configuration provides natural wind acceleration and protection from larger ocean swells, making conditions relatively manageable.
The shallow bay bottom and protected fetch distance limit wave formation, making this primarily a flatwater spot suitable for freestyle and racing disciplines. Side-shore winds from the northwest (315°) provide the safest and most consistent riding conditions, maintaining parallel flow along the beach. The average wind speed of 8.5 knots is modest, requiring consistent thermals or weather systems for optimal sessions.
This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters due to calm water conditions and protected environment. However, the marina traffic, moored boats, and shallow areas demand careful attention to launch zones and riding boundaries. The low wind reliability (16.9%) suggests sessions are seasonal and weather-dependent. Proximity to residential areas likely enforces local regulations regarding session timing and noise.
