Fehmarn
70% of February days clear 12 kt for three daylight hours or more.
Hour-by-hour & month-by-month wind
Rideable-day share by month, all three sports
Share of days with three or more daylight hours over each sport's threshold, counted from the record at 12 kt, Windsurf 13 kt and Wing 12 kt. Fehmarn has been checked against the model at 12 kn only, so the 13 kn Windsurf figure is counted but not checked against it.
Blue fill scales with the share. Selected month outlined. Threshold per row: Kite 12 kt · Windsurf 13 kt · Wing 12 kt.
Where the wind sits, February
Share of daylight hours in each speed band, blue above the threshold.
Not drawn: 5% of daylight hours under 4 kt.
When in the day, February
Share of days over 12 kt at each daylight hour.
Rideable hours, not all hours. Every wind figure in this report is the mean over hours above the threshold.
February's own records
The month's own figures from ten Februaries in the record, 2017 to 2026. Not the year's average.
What the percentage hides. A month at 80% can be twenty-four steady days or three windy weeks broken by a dead front.

Depth and water by spot
No tide windows: depth, not tide, sets the session here.
No tide information found. Read the reserve boundaries before launching.
No tide information found for this spot.
No tide information found. A strong current runs here.
Tide data not yet available for this spot. The record holds wind, air and waves, not tide. Until a tide source is connected, the tables above stay empty rather than estimated. What the guide says about tide is on the next page, in words.
Reserves, currents & the fairway
Every hazard on the spot page, repeated here in full. Read this before you get wet.
Conditions change. Check local rules and conditions before you ride.
Altenteil has stones in the entry and Westermarkelsdorf rocks in the entry, both with shorebreak. There is a groyne to the left of the entrance at Gold, and groynes either side of the narrow entry at Meeschendorf. Seaweed is present from May to November at Lemkenhafen and Gold.
Strong currents run at Altenteil, Westermarkelsdorf and Miramar. At Miramar, by the Fehmarnsund Bridge, there is a busy fairway and no downwind landing. Entering the marked closed zones of the Krummsteert-Sulsdorfer Wiek and Grüner Brink nature reserves is prohibited by federal ordinance.
Getting there, packing & best months
Derived from the 18 kt mean over rideable hours in January and February, corrected against the Fehmarn station, not from a fitted quiver.
Best months, Kite. Record.
Sources, and their limits
Where each section of this report comes from. Record is measured. Modelled is computed by a formula because no measurement exists yet; it looks like data and is not. Written is WindChaser's editorial copy, compiled from the sources below.
The record
Hourly wind, 2017 to 2026, from ECMWF IFS HRES via Open-Meteo: a 9 km grid, read at the cell 4.3 km from the spot. It knows the wind over the cell, not the gust on the sand in front of you, and it knows the bearing, not the coastline: "side-onshore" is a rider's reading of the bearing. Each month is counted over nine to ten years.
What we could not source for Fehmarn
A crowd count: the months above are compiled research, not a count. A bathing water classification, and a first-hand reading of the local vibe. Figures for July, August and October to December, where the station check left too wide a margin, and a record per spot rather than one point for the island. Surveyed launch coordinates. A measured water temperature. Where any of these is missing above, the section says so rather than filling itself.
Conditions change. Check local rules and conditions before you ride.
