Historical averages by month — not a live forecast.
The Alfsee spot is navigated on a freshwater lake, with direct access from grassy or sandy shores. The best navigation areas are in the center of the lake, away from the banks to avoid obstacles. Launching is done on grassy or sandy beaches, with ample space for maneuvers.
The dominant side-shore winds come from NW, W, SW, making the water surface chop moderate but rideable. No tidal influence here, the level remains constant. Watch out for swimming areas and boats in the middle of the lake, stay in the corridors dedicated to kitefoilers and twintippers.
Ideal for freeride or light freestyle sessions, with sufficient fetch for constant power in strong winds.
