Windsurfing in Czarnocin

Flatwater with shallow, uneven bottom that makes fun chop to play in, but watch the rocks and mussel shells.

Shallow water runs more than 1 km out from the shore, with chop up to 1 m. It is great for playing around and jumping, though high-speed sailing and gybing can be harder. Wind is most stable from the northwest, and southerly winds tend to be gustier. Strong winds from some directions can raise the water level by up to 0.5 m. The bottom is shallow, uneven and changes often, with rocks and sharp mussel shells. Neoprene boots are recommended. In summer the water warms quickly and weed grows heavily, so a weed fin is strongly recommended. The spot suits beginners and is a good place to learn how to handle bigger waves further out. There are no rescue or safety boats on site, and large vessels use the lagoon further out. The beach has a school, rental, free parking, a toilet, a boat launch ramp, and BBQ and camping are possible.
