Beach rules:

Special kite beach and zone. Do only kite here and do not kite beyond the white buoys. Windsurfers start further to the end of the road. Always be aware that you are on a private property and kiters are only tolerated. Be careful, the water gets really flat. Do not kite on the north beach of Ellenbogen, since there is a strong current which can suck you out to the open sea.

Weather:

A wetsuit is necessary nearly all over the year. The water is between 5-20°C (spring to summer), air temperature is in the average 18°C (in summer) and can go up to 30°C. If you have the adequate wetsuit you can surf from April to November. In high summer riding with just shorts possible, but only for a short time. Off-season is possible but very cold.
