Warnemünde, Rostock's city beach, is a classic wave spot location location in Westerlies, but it works on Easterlies as well, even if not as big.
A 400 meters wide, nice and soft sand beach with lot of space for launching and landing kites. At summertime (July and August) is packed with tourists, but on stormy days they are blown into bars and cafès, so when it's really good you'll find place even in this period of the year.
