Suhrendorf Rügen

Suhrendorf on Rügen is a sheltered lagoon spot located on the southern shore of Germany's largest island, facing west toward protected waters. The lagoon features extremely flat conditions with minimal wave development, making it a technical flatwater environment. The spot is characterized by moored boats, residential areas, and shallow nearshore zones that limit paddling room and create navigation hazards. With average wind speeds of only 10.3 knots and reliability below 30%, conditions are marginal for kitesurfing and frequently insufficient. The shallow, flat-water nature suits beginners and freestyle practitioners when wind is present, but the combination of low wind frequency, boat traffic, and limited space makes this spot challenging for consistent progression. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore flow. The residential development directly adjacent to launch areas means low crowds but requires awareness of property lines and local regulations. This is a backup spot for local kiters rather than a destination location.
