Altefähr surf spot - windsurfing with a view of Stralsund

On the Strelasund you can surf in south-easterly to westerly winds with a view of the skyline of the Hanseatic city of Stralsund and the impressive Rügen Bridge. You have plenty of space to set up on the lawn. The Altefähr spot is located in the immediate vicinity of the Hanseatic city of Stralsund. The direct view of the impressive Rügen Bridge and the historic old town create a very special flair. Located directly on the banks of the Strelasund, Altefähr is not only a popular local recreation area for Stralsund residents, but also a beautiful surfing spot with a good standing area and even a surf school on site. However, unlike windsurfing, kitesurfing is not permitted here in the summer months according to the beach regulations. Due to the somewhat sheltered location of the spot, there are sometimes gusty winds due to wind cover. The waves can also get quite choppy outside the standing area. The preferred wind direction for this spot is west to northwest, when the wind blows unhindered across the Bodden. The water's edge at the entrance is secured by wooden piers, which is why there is unfortunately no real beach. However, the grassy area offers you plenty of space to set up. The spot is suitable for wind directions from SE to W. Facilities: Disposal Offer of the surf school - sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, (kiting and SUP in Thiessow) Parking facilities
