Fehmarn is a popular Baltic kitesurfing destination with consistent wind throughout the year—197 windy days annually makes it reliable. Plan visits around the windiest months (Oct, Jan, Feb, Mar, May, Jun, Sep, Dec) and check local conditions before traveling.

Launch from sandy beach areas during westerly winds (W, WNW, WSW) which are most consistent. Choppy conditions mean careful entry and exit; scout the beach for the calmest access point before launching.

Respect local wind sports community and share space with windsurfers who also frequent this Baltic Sea location. Watch for swimmers and other beach users, especially during calmer summer months.

A 5/3mm wetsuit is essential year-round due to cold Baltic water; upgrade to 6/5mm or thicker during winter (Nov-Mar) months. Consider a hood and booties for extended sessions in colder seasons.
