Why Riders Love It
Best winds in spring and fall. Summer lighter winds, can have nice East winds. Any strength possible with depressions. Best direction is NE, mainly in summer. Westerlies are very gusty and no fun at all. East can be gusty, a bit more to the North and it is more constant.
When to Go
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. Off-season is possible but very cold.
What to Expect
This beach can have it all. Extreme flat water behind the mole (stones) in front of the small harbor. At the end of the mole on the sandbar nice waves, specially in strong E/NE winds. Then you can get speed and use the waves as ramps. Choppy in West winds. Be careful with the mole and its stones. To the East another concrete mole and in-between small wooden wave breakers. If your ride close to the mole, stay away from the boats coming in and out of the harbor.

Facilities & Access
📍 Getting There
🚶Short walk to the beach
From Hamburg and Luebeck drive North on the A1. Exit where signs say `Timmendorfer Strand`, just behind Luebeck. Follow signs and that road to Timmendorfer Strand. Just before you enter Timmendorf turn right before a bridge passes over the street and follow that street (B76) towards Niendorf. At a traffic light turn left into Niendorf. After 50m when you face the harbour, turn right and the next street/traffic light turn left at a kiosk. Look out for a parking. Either drive all the way down to the water or keep left to go directly to te better launch. There is a very small parking lot. Park here or before and walk to the beach next to the public toilets/showers. Pay for parking, otherwise you will get a ticket. Hint: if you stay some hours, it is cheaper to get a parking ticket than paying the parking fee!
