Its a lake and river, so expect flat to choppy water. Very packed with boats and swimmers during summer. Small wooden pillars close to the beach in the reeds.
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.

South of Schleswig get onto B76 and follow signs to Fahrdorf. Here take the first left. Drive through the village and find a small sign `Strand`. Follow it to the beach.
