Bulbjerg kitesurf, wingfoil and windsurf spot

Denmark

Spot currently openAdvanced level 57.16 | 9.02

Overview

Bulbjerg is a spectacular spot on the North Sea / Skagerrak coast, dominated by the Bulbjerg limestone cliff (47 m), the only rock outcrop on the west coast of Jutland. Advanced spot with powerful wave conditions. The cliff creates wind acceleration effects (venturi). Recommended to ride toward Lild Strand rather than directly in front of the cliff in strong conditions.
