Spot currently openBeginner levelAltitude 5 m 54.14 | 13.83

Overview

Peenemunde is located at the northern tip of Usedom island, on the Baltic coast. The spot offers a huge standing area (shallow zone) — one of the largest on the entire German coast — with small waves further out. Wide sandy beach, with no groynes or obstacles. The best entry point is 2-3 km north of Karlshagen towards Peenemunde: the further you walk left along the beach, the flatter and shallower the water. Ideal for beginners and lessons.

Usedom is nicknamed "Sonneninsel" — one of the sunniest regions in Germany (~1,900h of sunshine/year). Best season: March-mid June and September-November.

Wind specificities

Baltic coast: best directions E, NE and SE. These winds give beautiful side-to-onshore conditions. In westerly winds and the region's prevailing winds, prefer the Achterwasser spots (Ueckeritz lagoon side) which work in W to SW wind.
