Timmendorf

Timmendorf is a sheltered bay spot on Germany's Baltic coast, located in the Lübeck Bay region. The coastline faces northwest toward the water, with a protected harbor area at the southern end and expansive shallow waters extending northward. The spot is characterized by gentle, choppy conditions with minimal swell (0.33m average), making it suitable for progression rather than wave riding. The shallow bay waters and protected setting minimize dangerous currents, though mudflats and shallow areas require awareness. Wind reliability is modest at 25.5%, with average winds of 9.7 knots—adequate for lighter equipment. The north or northeast wind direction provides side-shore conditions. Residential development and boat infrastructure are present but manageable. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking calm, predictable conditions for skill development. The low wind average and choppy water make this better suited to lighter conditions and flat-water practice rather than wave or freestyle riding.
