About This Spot
Swinoujscie is a sheltered lagoon spot located on Poland's Baltic coast where a river mouth meets coastal waters. The site features shallow, enclosed waters bordered by dense pine forest and residential development. The northeast-facing coastline with sandy beaches and sandbars creates a protected environment suitable for beginners learning in flat to choppy water conditions. Best wind direction is from the northwest (side-shore), which maintains safe offshore safety while pushing riders along the beach. The narrow channel structure means wind patterns can be irregular due to forest shadowing, and the low average wind reliability (17.9%) and weak average wind speed (8.7 knots) indicate this spot functions well mainly during stronger wind periods. Water temperatures average around 10°C, requiring seasonal neoprene protection. The very small average wave height (0.33m) confirms this is a wave-free lagoon environment focused on flat-water freestyle and freestyle tricks. Ideal for beginners, learning new tricks, and improving board control in calm conditions.
