The surf spots for windsurfers
The open coastal areas provide professionals with the desired action and thrill for surfing at the Baltic Sea: At the Baltic Sea, Bodden and lakes the waves come with the wind and it comes from all directions. When it drives powerfully over the water crests, low-salt waters and shallow depths help waves build quickly and become much steeper than on the North Sea.Some areas are especially suitable for windsurfers because of their special conditions: Lubmin near Greifswald, for example, is a surf spot with medium waves and the best wind.Nearby Ludwigsburg with shallow water is ideal for freeride, freestyle and speed with fresh wind from southeast and southwest.For those who prefer windsurfing on Rügen, the Baltic windsurfing spot Prora is recommended; for the brave also during spring and autumn storms with strong sideways winds (sideshore). There are similarly large waves at Neu Mukran on Rügen and Kägsdorf near Rerik.
Zingst holds the full surf package and perfect west-northwest sideshore to boot for surfing on the Baltic Sea. The city beach of Rostock-Warnemünde is a classic with big waves especially with west wind.
It doesn't always have to be the Baltic Sea: Rerik offers ocean waves on the one hand and an entrance to the smooth Salzhaff only 100 meters from the Baltic Sea. Likewise, the Saaler Bodden offers several entrances for a perfect shallow water spot.
The low-salt Jasmund Bodden near Polchow or the Schwerin freshwater lake plateau with their tree cover provide gusty conditions and fewer surfing visitors.
