Launch notes

Launching is straightforward from the flat-water beach with consistent westerly and easterly winds. The shallow water allows easy entry and is ideal for beginners learning body dragging and water starts.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Pack 14-17m kites to handle the average 11.4kt winds, with a 12m as a versatile choice. A beginner-friendly twin-tip or directional board works well in flat water conditions.

Clothing · A 5-6mm wetsuit is essential year-round due to Baltic cold water temperatures (4-15°C depending on season). Include gloves and booties for winter months (Oct-Mar).

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local swimmers and recreational users by maintaining clear zones. Stay aware of other kiters and establish right-of-way based on downwind positions.

Additional notes

With 159.5 windy days annually, this is a reliable spot with consistent conditions. Check local weather and tidal schedules before sessions, as Nordic currents can be strong.
