Retgendorf surf spot (Lake Schwerin)
With winds from southwest to north, you can really have fun on the Schwerin Outer Lake. Strong winds even conjure up small kicker waves on the otherwise smooth water.

The spot is located on a campsite and is therefore ideal for longer stays. But this spot is also highly recommended for a short day trip. A surf school is on site to help and advise you. Compared to the neighboring spot Flessenow, the standing area here is much smaller. However, you can expect a small wave when the wind is right. There is plenty of space to set up your equipment on the meadow behind the small strip of beach. Beginners should be careful due to the small standing area or, if necessary, switch to the neighboring spot Flessenow. The spot is suitable for wind directions from SW to N.

Retgendorf surf spot on Lake Schwerin - waves inland

The Retgendorf surf spot on Schwerin's outer lake is a popular meeting point for windsurfers and kitesurfers in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. When the wind blows from southwest to north, the otherwise calm lake turns into a lively spot - strong winds even create small kicker waves, which on some days are reminiscent of the conditions on the Baltic Sea coast. Those who are familiar with the well-known spots around Rügen, Usedom or Fischland-Darß-Zingst will find an exciting alternative inland here.

Surfing conditions and suitability for beginners and advanced surfers

The standing area in Retgendorf is significantly smaller compared to the neighboring spot Flessenow, which is why beginners should exercise a little caution. If you have little experience, you can switch to the neighboring Flessenow spot. Advanced surfers, on the other hand, appreciate precisely this feature of the spot, as a decent wind reliably builds up small waves here. There is plenty of space to set up your equipment on the meadow behind the narrow strip of beach.
