Wohlenberger Wiek

Wohlenberger Wiek is a shallow bay on Germany's Baltic coast facing northeast into the Lübeck Bay system. The spot features gentle sloping bathymetry with extensive shallow zones, making it suitable for beginners and light-wind sessions. The residential development visible in the satellite imagery indicates moderate human activity and potential boat traffic, particularly during summer months. Water conditions are characteristically choppy rather than wave-organized, with minimal swell exposure due to the bay's protected nature. Average wind of 9.1 knots is marginal for kitesurfing; consistent sessions require stronger conditions or thermal development. The northeastern coastline orientation favors northwesterly to westerly winds as side-shore conditions. Best conditions occur during autumn and winter when North Atlantic weather systems increase wind frequency and reliability. This spot suits beginners transitioning from flat-water skills and those seeking protected practice areas. Key considerations include tide-dependent water depth, seasonal water temperature below 10°C requiring protection, and respecting residential zones when launching and landing.
