Hanstholm

The Fakir spot works particularly well with NE to E winds, which are side-shore relative to the northwest-facing beach, creating organized waves thanks to the breakwater that protects and sorts the waves. The launch area is small, on a narrow beach covered with stones, so it is necessary to choose a clear space away from the wind turbines and the pier. The riding area extends along the pier or on a sandbank between the breakwaters, with waves forming from the sea towards the beach, ideal for riding up to the sand.

In case of more west or south wind, the waves become cleaner but more gusty, and with a strength around 7 Beaufort or more, they break further out, making the spot technical. The water state is generally choppy with medium waves, influenced by the tide which slightly modifies access but not drastically the conditions. Be careful not to ride too close to the breakwaters where the waves turn. Launching is done directly from the narrow beach, with easy parking near the fish factory or the wind turbines.

Local feature: the waves can offer long rides along the new pier after the harbor extension, or on the south side of the Roshage pier, perfect for powerful maneuvers.
