About this spot

About

Bojendorf (Fehmarn) is a west-coast spot on Fehmarn known for wave potential while still offering mostly manageable shore conditions. Sources describe a generally small shorebreak and a clean riding area, with flat-to-small and sometimes medium waves depending on the wind and swell setup. Wind-wise, the most reliable directions match a N to SW pattern, with a frontal/gradient character. The best months are April, May, and again September and October. Sessions are typically workable in a broad wind range, though conditions depend on frontal weather patterns; gustiness is described as moderate. A major theme for Bojendorf is safety: a strong northward current is repeatedly highlighted, alongside stakes/wooden-stone structures (groynes) along the beach. These hazards matter for both launch/landing and for anyone who drifts if the wind drops. Users are advised to use protective footwear/booties, and to keep an eye on how quickly current can pull riders away from the launch area. Seasonally, water temperatures are reported to reach around 22°C at the warmest point in summer, but can be much colder at other times of year. A wetsuit is described as essentially always needed, with thicker neoprene (and usually gloves/hood/boots) recommended in colder months. There are also environmental and access rules: avoid the bird sanctuary/nature reserve to the south (Wallnau), and don’t kite in designated swimming zones during summer.

  • Best wind directions: N and SW (especially SW for wave riding)
