Wustrow

Wustrow is a lagoon-style kitesurfing spot located on Germany's Baltic coast, situated behind a protective dike system. The spot consists of shallow, sheltered water separated from the open sea by embankments and infrastructure. The lagoon setting provides calm, choppy conditions typical of protected waters with limited fetch. With average wind speeds of 10.6 knots and only 32.1% wind reliability, conditions are marginal and inconsistent. The shallow depth and moored boats indicate this is a controlled access area requiring careful navigation. Best wind direction is northerly (side-shore along the west-facing dike), providing parallel-to-shore conditions. The spot suits beginners due to low wave heights (0.47m average) and protected waters, though wind unreliability means sessions may be cancelled frequently. Kiters should expect choppy rather than organized swell, watch for boat traffic, respect protected areas, and be aware of shallow bottom. Water temperature of 10.3°C requires appropriate thermal protection. The narrow riding area between structures and shallow zones demands good spatial awareness.
