Xantener Südsee is an inland lake in northwestern Germany formed from flooded mining operations. The water body is bordered by residential developments on the eastern shore and agricultural land with tree-lined properties on the western side. The lake's north-south orientation creates asymmetric wind exposure, with the eastern residential zone providing significant wind obstruction and turbulence. Best wind direction is northerly (side-shore to the eastern shore), though the low wind reliability (6.5%) makes consistent sessions unlikely. The shallow, confined lake environment with residential proximity limits performance potential. This spot suits beginners seeking flat-water practice in protected conditions, though the low average wind (6.9 knots) and minimal fetch distance restrict progression. Water temperature averages 11.5°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. Kiters should exercise caution near residential structures and be aware of potential boat traffic. The spot's primary value is for skill development rather than challenging conditions.
