chop
flatThe spot offers a large area for launching and landing thanks to its long and wide sandy beach. In side-shore winds (N, NNE, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW), there is flat between the breakwaters on the sides, perfect for progression. Beware of breakwaters in the water, they define the safe zones.
In onshore winds, a shore break can form, making water entry more technical. With SW wind, nice waves on the sandbank, but strong current to watch out for. Riding is generally done offshore, with enough space to jibe without worry. Conditions range from flat to small waves depending on the strength and direction of the wind.
No tidal influence on the spot, which simplifies session planning.
The best sessions occur with winds from N, NNE, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW, in side-shore for safe flat between breakwaters. Ideal strength 15-25 kts.
Varied water conditions: flat to chop in side-shore, small waves in onshore or SW. Shore break possible in onshore, and breakwaters to avoid to stay in the flat zone.
The current is generally weak, except in SW winds where it becomes strong near the sandbank. No significant tides affecting the spot, so stable riding.
Opt for sizes 9 to 12m² in moderate winds, 7 to 9m² when it picks up. Adjust according to the local strength of the Baltic.
