Summer is nice and warm. High season a shorty is ok, a few weeks with just shorts is possible. Usually a wetsuit is always needed. Water max 22°C in summer, normally around 15°C. Winter gets cold, but a thick wetsuit, gloves, mask and shoes make kiting almost year-round possible. Air: summer between 20-30°C, spring and fall around 15°C.

Westerly winds with depressions. Best from fall to spring. Summer lighter. Nice NE and E winds in summer, but not very often. This beach works best in NE. Onshore winds should be avoided since the wind will be gone in front of the cliff and dangerous upwinds for kiters.
From Hamburg take A1 to Luebeck. Behind Luebeck take A226 and B75 and follow signs to Travemuende. Before Travemuende follow signs to Niendorf and Timmendorf. From B76 turn right on the first signs to Niendorf and right again onto Brodtener Strasse. Follow the road and either turn left onto Wieskoppel or Grossenhof. Get to the edge and get down the cliffs to the beach.
