Surendorf

Surendorf is a lagoon-based kitesurfing spot located on the northeast German coast near the Baltic Sea. The site features a protected shallow lagoon separated from the open water by a sandy barrier beach, creating a contained water environment. A large recreational facility with caravan parks and camping areas borders the lagoon, indicating high pedestrian and tourist activity. The lagoon's shallow, choppy water conditions suit beginners and progression riders seeking protected conditions with minimal wave exposure. The narrow strip of beach limits launch and landing zones. Best wind direction is southeasterly (135°), providing side-shore conditions for safe kitesurfing. Wind reliability at 23% suggests variable conditions typical of Baltic locations. This spot is most suitable for beginners and intermediate riders seeking sheltered practice areas. Key considerations include navigating around camping infrastructure, respecting pedestrian areas, avoiding mooring posts, and using only designated launch zones. The shallow depth offers safety advantages but requires awareness of ground contact risk. Conditions are typically best during spring and autumn when Atlantic systems bring more consistent winds.
