The best wave spot on Rügen for SW to WSW winds.
The walk to the beach is about 500 m, with steep stairs. There are rocks upwind and downwind of the launch. The best waves break about 50 m offshore.

About Rügen
What holds for every spot here.
Wind, month by monthWindy Jan · model dataWindy Jan · model data
Each bar: how often it blew between 9:00 and 18:00 in that month, counted over about 3.5 years of weather records for Kreptitz. Not a wind meter on the beach: where hills or a gap speed the wind up (Canaries, Tarifa), it often blows more than this shows.
Model data from Open-Meteo, Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (about 3.5 years). Under each month: the air temperature in °C, then the session days in %: the share of days with at least 2 hours in a row of 11+ knots (or 16+ knot gusts) between 11:00 and 19:00.
