Lake Balaton. There is a few kms long sand bank parallel to the southern shore. Between the shore and the bank, you will find flat water, while outside the bank, there is deep water and quite choppy. You should be careful, certain areas have very shallow water and water tends to be less and less from year to year. Behind the sandy part there are rocks and a concrete breakwater. Outside the beach area, there are fishing platforms, so be careful with those.

Winds are not regular. Sometimes weeks without wind, sometimes every third day. Winds usually come with fronts and can be gusty. Northerly winds are the favorite 3-7 Bft depending on the strength of the front. Southern winds can only be used on the northern shore. They bring real hot air temperatures, but are mostly extreme gusty. Eastern winds tend to be very steady but not stronger than 4 Bft, and you can catch it in the morning hours.
