Bleilochtalsperre

Bleilochtalsperre (Kloster) is an inland windsurfing-focused reservoir spot built around a large grassy launch area on a headland inside the campsite grounds. Access is generally straightforward through the campsite, with plenty of space for setting up gear, and the water is commonly described as low-current and suitable for freeride and freestyle progression. Wind is most often reported with a clear NW component (often described as the cleanest), while W and SW winds also occur. Sources emphasize that conditions are not a daily thermal pattern; instead, the wind relies on weather systems and fronts. Expect a broad wind window during the main season, but also plan for gusts and turbulence from the surrounding hills/forested banks—especially when the wind isn’t aligned with the reservoir’s axis. For water entry, the reservoir provides deep water overall, but sources also describe a very narrow standing area close to shore, which can matter for comfort and safety when launching or recovering. Motorboat traffic is listed as a hazard, and the combination of gusts plus the near-shore entry constraints means riders should be prepared with conservative technique and clear communication on the water. Kitesurfing is prohibited by local navigation rules, so the spot is effectively a windsurfing/wingfoiling venue. When choosing gear, spot-level guidance points to wetsuit protection (with thicker options for cooler months) and, for some sessions, impact protection; rescue services are described as not specifically provided for the launch area.
