Surfspot Kreptitz - Wavespot at the Baltic Sea Rügen

Windsurfers are among themselves here. Kitesurfing is prohibited. The waves break very cleanly on the offshore sandbanks and can easily reach three meters high on strong wind days. You'll have the most fun with sideshore from the west-southwest. The standing area is narrow. Rocks lurk everywhere under the surface of the water. Therefore: experts only! Kreptitz is located on the north-west coast of Rügen in the middle of a small nature reserve. Alongside Mukran, it is probably the best-known wave spot on Rügen. The highest waves break here in north-westerly wind directions on an offshore sandbank. As the landscape in this region of Rügen is dominated by steep cliffs, access to the spot is not exactly easy. You can only reach the beach with your equipment via a narrow and steep steel staircase. We therefore recommend using the small meadow above the cliffs to rig up, especially on stormy days. The shore break here is heavy, the standing area is very small and there are a few rocks under the water surface. The spot is therefore only recommended for absolute professionals, as others will get washed out here. Unfortunately, kitesurfing is not permitted in Kreptitz due to nature conservation regulations. The spot is suitable for wind directions from W to NE. Facilities: Parking facilities
