About
Seehamer See (Weyarn) is a small, lake-located wind spot set up for wind sports on a West-wind orientation. Sources consistently describe flat to choppy conditions with clean water quality, plus a no-beach layout where you rig on grassy areas near the campground. There is a shallow standing zone along the shore (reported around 40–50 m), which strongly affects how close you can safely operate—especially for foiling and any activity that needs depth. For windsurfing, the spot is described as suitable for freeride and freestyle in West winds. Launch and access are straightforward: you reach the lake via the A8 motorway (exit Weyarn), follow signs toward Bach and Grossseeham, and go to the campground area; the launch is just south of the campground and north of the footbridge. Wind can be gusty with turbulence near the shore, including wind shadows caused by trees and the motorway embankment, so many sessions depend on having a well-formed West wind forecast. Kitesurfing is the major safety concern at this location. Multiple findings warn that high-voltage power lines cross/lie directly over or near the water and launch, making kiting extremely dangerous and generally prohibited or strongly discouraged by locals/community reports. Even beyond that, the shallow water zone and bridge/footbridge hazard to the south add operational constraints. Seasonally, wetsuit use is emphasized throughout the year, with thicker suits needed in colder months. While some sources suggest summer conditions are favorable, the broader wind pattern is tied to passing low-pressure systems and cold fronts rather than a strongly reliable thermal regime—so spring and autumn can also be good for wind-seeking sessions.
- Convenient access directly off the A8 motorway
- West wind is the best working direction
- Grassy rigging near the campground
- Shallow standing area limits how close you can go safely
- Works best in strong West wind for windsurfing freeride/freestyle.
- Grassy rigging/launch area near the campground, with quick access from the A8 motorway exit.
- Flat to choppy water with clean water quality is reported.
- Good for short local sessions due to convenient access and nearby camping.
- Extremely hazardous kitesurfing due to high-voltage power lines crossing/near the water.
- Shallow water/standing area (about 40–50 m) increases bottoming-out risk, especially for foiling near shore.
- Wind reliability is low and conditions depend on passing weather systems; gustiness and turbulence near shore are reported.
- No on-site rescue/lifeguard coverage reported.

Rain and wind often come together with Atlantic fronts; summer thunderstorms can occur frequently in the afternoons.
By sport
What to expect for each.
Kitesurfing is described as highly controversial and dangerous at this spot due to high-voltage power lines directly over/near the water and launch area; sources indicate it is officially forbidden or strongly discouraged by the local community.
Freeride and freestyle on a flat-to-choppy, shallow standing area in West wind. A standing area/no beach setup and rigging grass are noted.
- Sail Sizes
- 5–7.5 m²
Possible, but shallow water near the shore requires walking out a significant distance to avoid hitting the bottom with the foil.
- Foil Friendly
- Limited — Deeper water is beyond the ~50 m shore zone; suitable only after moving out of the shallow standing area.
- Wing Sizes
- 4–6 m²
