Teichhof Fehmarn

Teichhof on Fehmarn is a sheltered lagoon spot located on Germany's Baltic Sea island, characterized by shallow, enclosed waters separated from open sea by a protective beach barrier. The lagoon setting provides natural wind protection and manageable conditions suited to skill development. The northeast-facing coastline creates ideal side-shore conditions with northwest winds, which align reasonably with the area's prevailing patterns. Water remains consistently shallow with choppy conditions typical of lagoon environments. The spot features a sandy beach access with nearby vegetation and marsh areas that limit land space. Wind reliability at 42.6% suggests inconsistent conditions, with average winds of 11.8 knots providing marginal but usable power for lighter equipment. Water temperature averaging 10.4°C requires thermal protection year-round. The spot suits beginners and early intermediates due to minimal wave fetch, shallow depths reducing drowning risk, and natural boundaries. Kiters should expect variable chop rather than organized swell, account for soft ground conditions near shore, and respect the limited fetch distance. Low wave energy (0.44m average) means this is primarily a flatwater learning environment rather than a wave-riding destination.
