Orth lies on the Orther Reede on Fehmarn's south coast, and the leaflet the Umweltrat made in 2007 with the island's kite and surf schools calls the area around the harbour a good spot where you can stand over a large area, which also makes it suitable for beginners. The same leaflet asks you to keep well away from the Spitzenorth peninsula, and further west navigation is prohibited in the Krummsteert-Sulsdorfer Wiek nature reserve. The tide hardly needs thinking about here. Because the beach faces south-south-east, south and south-east are onshore and north to north-west is offshore, so Orth works precisely in a south-easterly, when Gold is offshore.
No statutory kite zone: Orth (east and west of the harbour) is listed as a kite spot in a 2007 leaflet by the Umweltrat Fehmarn. Stay away from Spitzenorth and out of the Krummsteert-Sulsdorfer Wiek no-go zone to the west, and check the limits with the local school. Source: Umweltrat Fehmarn leaflet 2007, OstseeSHNSGBefV 2016.
The open water at Fehmarn Orth faces SSE (156°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are east, southeast, south and southwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the northeast and west, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the north and northwest, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
