Wind specificities

South, South-West and West are the best directions — wind arrives clean over the open water without obstruction from the town or forest. South-East also works well. North and North-East are gusty and disturbed — intermediate level minimum required when wind is offshore from the north.

Hazards

Kitesurf is only authorised through the sailing school "Base de Voile Lauterbourg" (MJC Lauterbourg section) — contact the club before coming (Sébastien Degré, 06 79 75 98 85). FFV licence required. From the north, wind blows offshore — intermediate level minimum required. Beware of obstacles near the launch zone (boats, garages). No kite allowed in gusty north-easterly conditions.
