Camping in the Baltic Coast area, too cold?

We are now thinking of some camping in our travels along Baltic Coast . On a previous post it seems that some think it might be a bit too cold. Any thoughts?

when? it should be just fine in the summer although you better have a good tent that can withstand a lot of rain.

thank you - we're thinking early September - is that still warm enough? And our tent is good and waterproof!

PGH1: some think it might be a bit too cold. Any thoughts? Depends on how tough you are.....some people would consider it too cold.... get yourself an ex British army sleeping bag....they even do arctic ones....you will be warm as toast...

Yes. Weather can be the main problem. Weather at Baltic sea is unexpectable even in the Summer. I was there last week (August) and it was raining. Temperature of water won't be more than 18-19C. It's cold. It was cold for me too, but I was first time at Baltic (I hope not last) and I swam a bit. Especially that my country has no sea.

Most of the factors are unpredictable... But usually in September nights tend to be cold, it can be under 10 degrees Celsius at night, but it is nothing that can't be dealt with good sleeping bag (don't get go crazy with that though, it is not Siberia here... pis*ing at night can be quite a chalenge though, I mean "go out from a tent and pis* or wait till morning that is the question" ;-) ).

As for the weather it is all about luck, it can be cold and raining all the time or it can be beautifull quite warm end of the summer time with this feeling of autumn coming. But more likely mix of the two.

One thing to remember, the day becoming to feel a little short in September, the sunsets are about 7 pm then it is also becoming a little after season time. So, less people but also less things to do in the evening, some good book can be helpful.
