About the spot

Wackerballig offers shallow water and sandy sections on both sides of the jetty in Geltinger Bay. North through west winds suit the venue. The southern section has extensive shallows, but jumps and foils still require depth checks.

A bathing zone also lies north of the jetty. Launch well away from the structure and swimming areas. Low water is no reason to enter protected sections; follow the current area layout.
