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. Prefer sideshore winds to get away from the wave breakers.
From Rostock drive towards Stralsund on B105. Before you reach Ribnitz-Damgarten turn left onto L21 and follow the signs to Darss and to Zingst. Best access west of Zingst with parking behind the dune.
