On the water

Very shallow beach with no material-damaging shore break. Moderate waves of 1 to 2 metres. Light current. Offshore sandbanks offer bigger waves but less dangerous than the Klitmøller region. Wetsuit required.

Parking

Parking available near the beach. Campsites and accommodation in town. Lively town centre with cafés and pubs.

Wind specificities

The spot gets side/onshore winds 9 out of 10 times. In SSW to WSW winds, waves are smoothed out by the breakwater. Further out, several sandbanks with SW-WSW swells create larger waves for jumping and wave riding. Excellent in strong southwest winds.
