On the water
Waves and chop from the Kattegat over a sandy bottom. Conditions can be powerful with cross-swells at the junction of the Skagerrak and Kattegat. Unpredictable and changing currents, characteristic of the Skagen area.
Hazards
Chaotic and dangerous currents characteristic of the Skagen tip. Westerly (offshore) wind is unstable and dangerous, pushing out to sea. The closer to Skagen, the more unpredictable the currents become. Spot reserved for experienced riders.
