Denmark is one of the windiest countries in Europe. The west coast of Jutland, facing the North Sea, takes the westerly wind head-on. Just behind the dunes, the fjords offer flat, shallow water.
That mix of waves and calm water a few minutes apart is what makes the country interesting, for beginners and wave riders alike.
The wind blows almost all year, driven by passing lows.
Best period : all year
In November: 55% kiteable days

Hvide Sande sits on a strip of land between the North Sea and Ringkøbing Fjord. On the fjord side the water is flat and shallow, with plenty of room to learn. On the sea side, the south pier is a wave spot. Bork Havn, at the southern end of the fjord, is another flat-water spot.
Klitmøller, nicknamed "Cold Hawaii", is the country's best-known wave spot, rather for experienced riders. Hanstholm and Vorupør are close by. Krik, inland, has flat water. Further south, Thyborøn mixes waves and flat water, with fewer people.
In the south, the island of Rømø, in the Wadden Sea, is known for its very wide beaches.
Cold water. Bring a full wetsuit all year, and winter gear in spring and autumn.
Where to stay. Hvide Sande and Klitmøller are the two most practical bases, with several spots nearby.
Sharing the water. On Ringkøbing Fjord there are many windsurfers. Keep your distance.
