On the water
Choppy to flat depending on wind direction. The east-facing coast gets chop in easterly winds (onshore). Sandy bottom. Bay conditions with moderate fetch. In NE or SE winds (side-shore), more manageable conditions.
Parking
Parking at Moesgaard Strand and near Moesgaard Museum. Accessible by bus from Aarhus city center.
Wind specificities
Works primarily in east, northeast and southeast winds (onshore). Westerly winds are offshore and don't work here - local riders then head to the west coast of Jutland. Wind often reinforced by channeling effect in the bay.
Hazards
Currents in Aarhus Bay. Not a beginner spot in strong winds. Maritime traffic in the bay (Aarhus port nearby). Swimming area in summer.
