​Is Warnemünde worth a visit when there’s a strong west-north-westerly wind? Absolutely – says local resident Sören Klement. And judging by these pictures, we’re happy to agree with him.

Warnemünde is one of the absolute favourite spots for the windsurfing scene in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The Baltic Sea is at its very best here, particularly when the wind is blowing from the west to the west-north-west, as the wind drives solid swells onto the shore. Local Sören Klement was there – both on the water and behind the camera:

The world had decided to be beautiful. Light like liquid gold, waves that took us seriously, and friends who laughed as if there were no tomorrow. Perhaps there isn’t one. It doesn’t matter. We were there, salty, tired, happy. That’s all life asks for, and it’s all I’ve ever wanted.
