Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Wackerballig is located on the western shore of the Schlei, a long fjord-like inlet in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. This bay environment features protected shallow waters typical of Baltic coastal areas. The spot is characterized by flat to minimal wave conditions and moderate winds, making it suitable for beginner to early intermediate riders. The presence of moored recreational boats indicates this is a popular leisure sailing area. The nearby caravan park and residential development mean the shoreline is well-established and developed. Wind from the north provides optimal side-shore conditions for safe progression. The protected nature of the Schlei means water remains relatively flat, reducing wave-related hazards but limiting wave riding potential. This spot suits riders developing their skills in mild conditions without significant swell. Primary considerations include navigating around boat traffic and respecting the recreational sailing community sharing the water. Low average wind reliability (29.8%) means sessions are weather-dependent.
