Kite Surfing by Jemiweb
Surf in the Baltic is a very fickle thing indeed. The body of water itself is certainly sizeable enough to have a wave generated within it but the general disposition and placement of islands and plunging fiords manages to attentuate all but the strongest systems in the area. For any of the reefs and points around Lithuania to work, you really need a depression to stall in the area and just lay down some energy.
Rare points everywhere will be firing in this environment, it's just a matter of finding where is offshore and running with it. The swell window for this is really not just December to January, it's a rare event that may only happen once every two or three Decembers. Make no mistake though, any surf surrounded by coastline such as this will be a defining moment in your history of surfing experience.
