Overview

Måde is a spot located south of Esbjerg, on the Wadden Sea (Vadehavet) coast. The spot is strongly influenced by tides, with riding conditions varying considerably between high and low tide. At low tide, vast mudflats are exposed and the spot becomes unrideable. Best sessions are at incoming or high tide. The proximity to Esbjerg harbour means maritime traffic should be watched.
