Beach Users:	June, July, August

Nice and soft sand. The beach is 400 meters wide and there is enough space to launch and land a kite, but at summertime, July and August, there are plenty of tourists and so you will have no chance to go out, but at stormy winds you can also go out. There is a special kite zone in front of the Hotel Neptun (the biggest one).

Best Months:	March, April, May, September, October, November
Wind Type:	Frontal Winds
Best Direction:	NE, WNW, NW
Main Direction:	SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW

In autumn and spring there are about 80% wind from 3-8 Bft. There are no usual directions, so you have to look for other spots around Rostock (e.g. Salzhaff, Bodden, Fischland Darß). Summer lighter winds. The beach makes a curve, so further east to the mole SW and NE are sideshore and further west W and E are sideshore.
