Biebesheim is a great southwest to west alternative to Budenheim. Usually a nice & clean river swell builds quickly here. Provided that the wind angle fits, you can enjoy sailing downwind/upriver for about 2-3 kilometers.

Wind

Direction is limited here to southwest to west. Dense tree-lines on both sites of the river are channeling and boosting the wind.

Water

Shallow water near the launch side due to sandbanks. Deep from the middle of the river on to the waterway and beyond.Swell reaches 3 - 6 foot (1-2 meter) in the channel. It's a  perfect site for high jumps.

Rig&Launch

Rig and launch in front of the campsite. 

Warnings

Sandbank in front of the campsite. Required River level > 1,5meters, otherwise it gets to shallow to sail.Watch out for the heavy barge traffic and keep your distance to it !
