Surfspot Grabow

The optimum wind direction for the wave spot is east. Then small, steep ramps build up on the numerous sandbanks, which are great for riding. The Zudar peninsula is located in the southern part of the island of Rügen. The Grabow spot is a little hidden away on this peninsula. There are no campsites, vacation apartments or catering facilities nearby. If you can put up with that, Grabow is almost undisturbed and offers pure nature. Especially for budding surfers, this spot offers good conditions with winds from the east due to the numerous sandbanks and especially in the direction of the "Palmer Orts". The waves become quite steep, especially further out, and invite you to ride them. Even if you can't necessarily be driven onto the open Baltic Sea in these wind directions, you should still be careful, as the mainland is a few kilometers away. If you like slightly bigger waves, you should head for spots on the east and north coast of Rügen. The spot is suitable for wind directions from NE to SW. Facilities: Parking facilities

Surfspot Groß Banzelvitz

With north-easterly to southerly winds, beginners will find smooth water, a wide standing area and a meadow for a relaxed set-up. As the spot is very small and therefore quickly overcrowded, ask the local surf school about the conditions beforehand. Groß Banzelvitz is a quiet little village right on the Great Jasmund Bodden. Far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, camping enthusiasts in particular will get their money's worth here, as the spotnahe campsite offers you and your family a variety of leisure activities even on windless days. There are two spots in Groß Banzelvitz, although one of them can only be used by the local kitesurfing school. On the water, you will find a large standing area where at most a choppy wave will build up. This is one of the reasons why this spot is recommended for beginners. Due to the wind cover provided by the Banzelvitz mountains, the wind window is somewhat limited. The spot is suitable for wind directions from NE to S. Features: Toilets Surf school offer - kitesurfing, windsurfing, SUP, kayak instruction Parking facilities

Surfspot Groß Schwansee

Only a few bathers stray to Groß Schwansee. That's why, in north-westerly winds, you can sail undisturbed along the long natural beach parallel to the shore. The village of Groß Schwansee is about half a kilometer from the Bay of Lübeck. Directly between Travemünde and Boltenhagen. In contrast to the two Baltic seaside resorts, it is a small, quiet and idyllic village that offers a wide range of accommodation for nature-loving Baltic Sea vacationers. The almost untouched beach offers plenty of space for various sporting activities. Kiters and windsurfers get their money's worth here and can ride the long beach parallel to the shore undisturbed in north-westerly wind directions. Those arriving by van or camper van can even spend the night in the nearby parking lot for a small fee. The spot is suitable for wind directions from SW to NE. Facilities: Toilets, waste disposal Parking facilities

Surfspot Heiligendamm

White villas and blue sea - in Germany's oldest Baltic seaside resort, you can surf against an intoxicating backdrop. The view is particularly relaxing with sideshore winds from the west and east-northeast. World-famous, yet quiet and tranquil. Heiligendamm is Germany's oldest Baltic seaside resort. For over 200 years, bathers have enjoyed the unique flair of the "White Town by the Sea", as Heiligendamm is also known. On the water, you have a great view of the impressive buildings. This spot is also easy to get to from the car. Less than 50 meters and once over the dyke and you're on the beach. But be careful in the water. Groynes are rammed into the water at regular intervals for coastal protection. There is a surfing school on site for beginners. You can learn to kitesurf and windsurf there or hire a SUP board on windless days. The spot is suitable for wind directions from W to NE. Facilities: Toilets, waste disposal Offer of the surf school - kite, windsurf, SUP Parking facilities

Surfspot Hiddensee

The car-free island of Hiddensee is an adventure playground for wave lovers, especially when the wind blows from southwest to north. In front of the natural beach, the waves are almost big by Baltic Sea standards - in strong north-westerly winds, the green rollers build up to three meters. The beautiful island of Hiddensee lies a long way off the west coast of Rügen. It takes about an hour to get to the island by ferry or a little quicker by water cab, preferably from Stralsund or Schaprode. Once you arrive on Hiddensee, you will find one thing above all: peace and quiet. Only a few cars, e.g. from the rescue service and the fire department, are allowed. This poses a problem: how do you transport your equipment? However, there is a good alternative for those who don't want to lug their gear around. The surf school in Vitte, located directly between the Bodden and the open Baltic Sea, opposite the old mill, rents out everything your heart desires. Advanced windsurfers and kitesurfers will get their money's worth in the north-westerly winds on the Baltic Sea side. On stormy days, waves of over 3 meters can build up there. The spot is not recommended for kitesurfing beginners due to the groynes and shallow depth. Hiddensee is definitely worth a visit as a special surfing vacation destination, where families and nature-loving water sports enthusiasts in particular can find peace and quiet away from the crowds. The spot is suitable for wind directions from SW to N. Facilities: Toilets, showers, waste disposal (at the surf school) Surf school offers - windsurfing, SUP and sailing instruction, kite, SUP and windsurfing equipment hire No cars allowed

Kamminke surf spot

With the finest location in southerly winds and a camper van parking area directly at the spot, Kamminke makes surfers' hearts beat faster. Kamminke is one of the oldest fishing villages on Usedom. The municipality in the eastern part of the island is located in the Achterland, directly on the northern shore of the Szczecin Lagoon. Not far from the German-Polish border, the thatched houses and the steep coastline give the village its special flair. You can even park your motorhome right by the water. In contrast to the Baltic Sea beach, the beach is not as extensive, but still very inviting. In the summer months, special consideration should therefore be given to bathers and possibly other water sports enthusiasts. In any case, you should speak to the local mobile surf school before you go out on the water. Otherwise, the spot is suitable for both beginners and pros with wind directions from SE to W. Facilities: Disposal Offer of the surf school - kite school, SUP rental Parking facilities

Surfspot Karlshagen

With crisp winds from the north to south-east, Karlshagen gives wave fans an endorphin rush. However, as the fine sandy beach and clear Baltic Sea water also make swimmers happy, you must pay attention to the swimming area in high season. The spot in Karlshagen is right next to a campsite, which is located just behind the dunes. You can stay overnight here close to the beach at moderate prices. For visitors who do not want to use the campsite, access to the beach is a little more difficult. From the paid parking lots, you should be prepared for a longer walk. However, once you arrive at the beach, the long walk is quickly forgotten. If you encounter winds between north and south-east, the waves and wind conditions at this Baltic spot are heavenly. Similar to Zinnowitz, Karlshagen is populated by many tourists in the summer months. Surfing is therefore only recommended from the evening hours onwards. Facilities: Toilets, showers, waste disposal (campsite) Surf school offers - kitesurfing, surfing, catamaran, kayak training Wakeboarding and water skiing with motorboat Parking facilities

Surfspot Kreptitz

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

Surfspot Kägsdorf

Kägsdorf is best suited for surfing in the southwest. Then the wind blows sideshore and brings a decent wave with wind forces of around 5 Beaufort. As it is quite chaotic close to the shore, the spot is only suitable for beginners to a limited extent. Surfmobiles can be parked in the large parking lot just behind the dune. The small, dreamy village of Kägsdorf is located between the two large Baltic Sea resorts of Kühlungsborn and Rerik. The somewhat remote spot with its idyllic Baltic Sea beach and good parking facilities directly on site has long been a well-known and excellent surfing area. When the wind blows from the southwest, the waves break on an offshore sandbank and put a smile on the faces of kiters and windsurfers. As the conditions in Kägsdorf are not easy and the shore break is quite violent, the spot is only suitable for beginners to a limited extent. One highlight is the annual Zuparken Festival, which attracts up to 1,000 visitors on a weekend with its varied surfing program. The spot is suitable for wind directions from SW to N. Facilities: Toilets, waste disposal Parking facilities

Kühlungsborn surf spot

With strong winds from the west to northeast, Kühlungsborn's powerful waves challenge you to test your strength. So that you don't get in the way of the numerous sun worshippers in summer, there is a special sports beach in front of the Anglersteig. Kühlungsborn is another beautiful spot to put your board in the water. With a population of almost 7,000, Kühlungsborn is one of the largest Baltic seaside resorts. Accordingly, it is also a great place to end the day after a session. The town also offers a host of other leisure activities, such as a climbing forest, a mini leisure park and an indoor swimming pool. Kühlungsborn attracts many tourists and bathers, especially in summer. During this time, in contrast to the rest of the year, kitesurfing is only permitted in a small area directly in front of the fishing pier. When it gets a little more manageable in the low season, there are sometimes powerful waves to conquer in westerly to easterly wind directions. Be careful with the groynes in the water. These can be found almost across the entire width of the beach in Kühlungsborn. The spot is suitable for wind directions from W to NE. Facilities: Toilets, waste disposal Offer of the surf school - windsurfing, sailing, (diving, motor boating) Parking facilities

Loissin surf spot

You can reach the spot via the campsite, where you can also shower and, of course, pitch your tent. Beginners will find a large standing area in Loissin. Experts can look forward to fantastic shallow water conditions. The spot works with winds from west to northeast. Loissin is located directly on the Greifswalder Bodden and is worth a weekend trip even for surfing enthusiasts with a long journey to get there. But it's not just the easy accessibility, but also the excellent surfing conditions that make the spot an experience. The large standing area is particularly noteworthy. The campsite right on the water gives the spot its very own charm. As soon as the wind blows, you are almost never alone on the water without having too little space. If the wind direction is unfavorable, you also have the option of quickly switching to the nearby spots of Lubmin and Ludwigsburg. Even after sunset in summer, there is always a small kitesurfing and windsurfing community there to talk shop. The spot is suitable for wind directions from W to NE. Facilities: Toilets, showers, waste disposal (campsite) Parking facilities

Surfspot Lubmin

Baltic Sea flair on the Bodden. The fine sandy beach, the large standing area and small but fine waves with south-west to north-east winds make Lubmin a real alternative for wave beginners. Lubmin is a small, tranquil seaside resort and lies at the transition from the Greifswald Bodden to the Baltic Sea. Lubmin is largely untouched by mass tourism. Especially surfers who don't necessarily want to spend their vacation on a campsite, but rather in permanent accommodation, should keep this spot in mind. Family-friendliness is also a top priority here. Surfing and kitesurfing is recommended at the marina to the east of the beach. On good windy days, there is even a kitesurfing school on site. With northerly winds, the spot also offers the opportunity to gain your first experience in the waves. Despite the Bodden waters, there is a great sandy beach with Baltic Sea flair, and there is more than enough space on the water. The spot is suitable for wind directions from SW to NE. Facilities: Toilets, showers, waste disposal (camping site) Offer of the surf school - kite school, mobile school Parking facilities

Surfspot Ludwigsburg

With southerly and south-westerly winds, Ludwigsburg is the first choice in the immediate vicinity of Greifswald - and also the only one. The spot compensates for the somewhat gusty wind with a large standing area and plenty of space to set up. The small village of Ludwigsburg is located on the Dänische Wiek, a small offshoot of the Greifswald Bodden. The spot itself is somewhat remote from the Hanseatic town of Greifswald. Nevertheless, it is very easy to reach and there are plenty of parking spaces here. With winds often blowing from the south to south-west, this is one of the few opportunities to get out on the water in the area. Unfortunately, as the wind comes from the mainland, it can often be a little gusty. But if that doesn't bother you, you will find a sufficiently large and good standing area at the spot. On land, you should watch out for small thistles or thorns in some places. This is because they have already killed a sail or two. The spot is suitable for wind directions from S to NW. Equipment: Parking facilities

Surfspot Lütow

The limited space available makes Lütow a windsurfing-only spot. The spot works particularly well in winds from the south to northwest. The spot is located on the Gnitz peninsula, west of Lütow. It is somewhat hidden away on a quiet campsite. Here you can enjoy nature and experience a relaxed surfing vacation on the island of Usedom in conjunction with the local surf school. Kitesurfing is not recommended or prohibited due to the limited space available and especially when the school is in operation. Otherwise, you will find a decent flat water spot with a sufficiently large standing area on the backwaters. Surfers should definitely watch out for obstacles such as boats and large rocks in the water and near the shore. The spot is best recommended in south to north-westerly winds, with easterly winds there is too much wind cover due to the peninsula near the shore. Facilities: Toilets, showers, waste disposal (campsite) School facilities - windsurfing, kitesurfing, sailing, canoeing, SUP Parking facilities

Surfspot Peenemünde

The locals on Usedom particularly appreciate Peenemünde, especially when the wind blows from north to south-east. Unlike most of the island's Baltic Sea spots, you only have to share the beach with a few bathers. The standing area is 120 meters wide and therefore perfect for anyone venturing into the waves for the first time. Peenemünde is located on the northern part of the island of Usedom at the mouth of the Peene River into the Baltic Sea. This town has a lot to offer in terms of history, which is why there are a whole range of interesting museums here that are always worth a visit away from the water sports. The spot itself is located just outside the town in the direction of Karlshagen. Locals in particular appreciate it, as it is rarely overrun by tourists. Both beginners and advanced surfers will find the best conditions here to let off steam in the Baltic Sea. You can get out on the water here in a stiff north-easterly to easterly wind, which creates large waves of around 2 meters. The numerous offshore sandbanks also have the advantage that hardly any waves build up near the shore. This makes this beach an ideal training ground for your first wave experiences. The spot is suitable for wind directions from N to SE. Facilities: Toilets, waste disposal (porta-potties in the parking lot) Parking facilities

Surfspot Rambin

Due to nature conservation regulations, only windsurfers are allowed to enjoy the fantastic flat water and gigantic standing area here. This sport is recommended in wind directions between west and northwest. The Rambin spot is located around twelve kilometers north-east of Stralsund. In contrast to the village of Rambin, through which a busy main road runs, the spot is in a quiet location in the middle of a nature reserve on the Kupitz Bodden. You won't find a white, fine sandy Baltic Sea beach like those found elsewhere on Rügen here. You won't miss it either, as you will find the best shallow water conditions and a huge standing area in a quiet rural setting. Beginners and freestylers are therefore offered excellent conditions to improve their skills. Similar to Scharprode, only windsurfing is permitted at the Rambin spot due to nature conservation, but not kitesurfing. The spot is suitable for wind directions from W to NW. Facilities: Parking facilities

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. Retgendorf is located on the Schweriner Außensee, just 20 minutes by car from Schwerin. Thanks to the good transport links to the A14, you can be on the water quickly here. 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. Facilities: Toilets, showers, waste disposal (campsite) Surf school offer - wind and kite surfing, water skiing, wakeskate, kneeboard, natural camps, paddle boat / canoe, tube riding (banana / tires), SUP, yoga on the beach Parking facilities

Schaprode surf spot

With perfectly flat water and a gigantic standing area, Schaprode is perfect for refining your style under laboratory conditions. But stay away from the fairway! For nature conservation reasons, you are not allowed to kitesurf at this cream spot. Winds from the southwest to northwest ensure optimal conditions. The idyllic ferry town of Schaprode is a popular starting point for excursions to the neighboring island of Hiddensee. As a result, the town is overcrowded with tourists, especially in the high season. The best access to the spot is from the campsite, as it is located directly on the beach. The standing area here is large enough and also suitable for beginners. Below the surface of the water, there are a few larger rocks that are only partially marked, which you need to watch out for. You should also be aware of the channel not far from the shore and avoid entering it. Unfortunately, the Schaprode spot is only reserved for windsurfers, as kitesurfing is not permitted here according to nature conservation regulations. There is a small windsurfing school on site that can provide you with advice and assistance. The spot is suitable for wind directions from SW to NW. Facilities: Toilets, showers, waste disposal (campsite) Surf school offers - windsurfing, canoeing and sailing instruction Parking facilities

Surfspot Stuthof

On the eastern shore of the Breitling, you will find a small but fine standing area and a water sports school when the wind blows from southwest to northwest. And it's only a 20-minute drive from Rostock. The spot is located on the eastern bank of the Breitling, a small bay at the mouth of the Warnow. Close to the small village of Stuthof, which still belongs to Rostock, you are largely cut off from the hustle and bustle of the city. However, if you do get bored, a passenger boat runs from here from May to September, taking you across to the other bank of the Warnow. There is a surf school on site, next to the traditional inn, which can teach anyone interested not only windsurfing but also sailing and stand-up paddling. Thanks to the sufficiently large standing area and the interesting view of Warnemünde, this spot is definitely worth a visit. Kitesurfers are also welcome here, but should keep a safe distance from the surf school. The spot is suitable for wind directions from SW to NW. Facilities: Offer of the surf school - windsurfing, sailing, SUP, kayak/canoe Parking facilities > 250 m away, subject to charge

Surfspot Suhrendorf

Hang loose awaits you in Suhrendorf. With a kitesurfing and windsurfing school, stores and a campsite, everything is here. There is even a casual surf hostel just behind the beach. And the beach bar with a view of the sunset over the island of Hiddensee is the icing on the cake. With south-westerly to northerly winds, you'll get your money's worth here. Suhrendorf is one of the most popular surf spots on Rügen and is located in the western part of the small island of Ummanz. From here you have a wonderful panoramic view of the neighboring island of Hiddensee opposite the Bodden. Suhrendorf is ideal for windsurfers and kiters of all levels due to the shallow water conditions. The spot is actually one of the largest standing areas in Germany, but due to nature conservation regulations it has been restricted to a smaller designated water sports zone. Accommodation options here are specially tailored to surfers and you are in good hands at the local school. The best access to the water is via the campsite. However, you will need to buy a day ticket for this. The spot is suitable for wind directions from SW to N. Facilities: Suhrendorf (campsite): Toilets, showers, waste disposal Haide: Toilets, waste disposal Surf school offers - windsurfing, kitesurfing, SUP, canoe training Parking facilities

Thiessow surf spot (main spot)

You can park your van, camper van etc. directly at the spot and stay overnight for a small fee. You can set up your equipment on the beach or on a small meadow. The best wind direction for wave fans is south-west. Moderately high waves then run into the small bay. The quiet Baltic seaside resort of Thiessow is located in the extreme south-east of Rügen at the transition from the Greifswald Bodden to the open Baltic Sea. Located in a small bay, the beach was already one of the most popular surfing spots in the region in GDR times. Back then, this was the only permitted spot for windsurfers to surf the waves. This is probably one of the reasons why the spot was nicknamed Thiewaii. The best access to the water is from the campsite, which is located in the middle of the headland between Klein Zicker and Thiessow. For a small fee, you can park here in peace and quiet or spend the night right next to the beach. It is best to set up your equipment on the small meadow directly on the beach. But be aware of the kite and windsurfing zone. The spot is suitable for wind directions from S to NW. Facilities: Toilets, showers, waste disposal (camming area) Surf school offers - kitesurfing, SUP, (windsurfing instruction) Parking facilities

Surfspot Timmendorf

The entry area is located on the sandy beach in front of the water sports station. The spot has a 250-meter standing area and is therefore ideal for surfing beginners. Conditions are best when the wind blows from the southwest to northeast. Timmendorfer Strand is located on the western coast of the island of Poel. A special feature of this small vacation resort is its eye-catching lighthouse, which has been guiding ships in the Bay of Wismar for over 200 years. There is also a small, cozy harbour and a sandy beach several kilometers long. The surf spot is located near the water sports station. Surfing is prohibited on the beach itself. The easiest way to reach the surf school or spot is via the campsite. However, prior registration at reception is necessary. Once you arrive at the beautiful Baltic Sea beach, you have enough space to set up your equipment undisturbed. The spot works equally well in this area of the coast with winds from southwest to northeast. Facilities: Toilets, showers, waste disposal Surf school facilities - kite, windsurf, canoe Parking facilities 500 m away, subject to charge

Surfspot Ueckermünde (Szczecin Lagoon)

This shallow-water spot with its wide standing area is still a real insider tip. Optimal conditions prevail with north-west to south-east winds. Surfing is prohibited here from May 15 to September 15. Then you can head to Bellin, just five kilometers away. Ueckermünde is a small, tranquil harbor town on the southern shore of the Szczecin Lagoon. This region is still largely unknown in the surfing scene, so the spot can definitely be considered an insider tip. The lavishly and lovingly renovated seaside resort is the youngest in Germany and is characterized in particular by its good infrastructure and family friendliness. You can park directly at the main entrance. From there, it is only a few meters to the water. Those arriving with a camper van or motorhome also have the option of staying overnight in the parking lot near the beach. There is a restaurant and various snack options for quick refreshments right on site. Unfortunately, surfing is not permitted in Ueckermünde during the summer season between May 15 and September 15. You should then head to the "Zimmerplatz" beach in Bellin, three kilometers away. The spot is suitable for wind directions from NW to SE. Facilities: Toilets, showers, waste disposal Parking facilities

Surfspot Untergöhren (Fleesensee)

The 210 meter wide standing area makes the southern shore of Lake Fleesensee an ideal windsurfing spot in south-westerly to northerly winds. Kiting is permitted in the specially created kite zone, but is only recommended for experts due to the many obstacles on land. The Fleesensee is located in the heart of the Mecklenburg Lake District and is part of the Müritz-Elde waterway. As a result, there is a lot of hustle and bustle on the water here and holidaymakers can be found almost everywhere, from pedal boats and houseboats to excursion boats. Thanks to its central location, the town is not only ideal for surfing but also as a starting point for water hikes in a canoe, kayak or with a SUP. The local water sports school offers the best conditions for this with its wide range of activities. A special feature is the special zone for kitesurfers, as kitesurfing is generally prohibited on federal waterways and is otherwise only permitted in Boek an der Müritz. However, inexperienced kitesurfers should not get out on the water here, as the spot is quite challenging despite the large standing area and is not recommended for beginners. The spot is suitable for wind directions from SW to N. Facilities: Toilets, waste disposal (possibility to rinse off clothes) Offer of the surf school - windsurfing, SUP, sailing, canoeing Parking > 500 m away, free of charge
