On the water

Flat and shallow Kattegat waters. Uniform sandy bottom with occasional stones and seaweed areas. Chop increases in sustained east/northeast winds. Clean and clear water. Ideal for freeride and freestyle.

Hazards

Stones and rocks on the seabed in places. A long rip channel with large stones extends several hundred metres from Skæring Bæk to Egå Marina — area to avoid. Shifting sandbars with variable depths. Maritime traffic in the Kattegat — watch for ferries and ships. Swimmers in summer.
