About the spot

Westermarkelsdorf occupies Fehmarn’s northwestern tip. Suitable west or north weather produces substantial waves; current and stony shore sections increase the challenge. This is not a sheltered learning venue.

Assess surf, drift and the return before launching. The neighbouring headland is environmentally sensitive, so keep to designated paths. Leave ample clearance from stones and other watersports users during launches and landings.
