Anholt

Anholt is a Danish island location situated in a shallow bay within the Kattegat strait between Denmark and Sweden. The spot features a western-facing coastline with moderate fetch distance to the open water. Water conditions are characteristically choppy due to shallow bathymetry and tidal influences typical of this region. The terrain shows sparse vegetation with scattered trees and sandy/rocky substrate. Best wind direction is from the north (0°), providing side-shore conditions for the primary western exposure. With average wind speeds of 13.2 knots and 55% reliability, conditions are moderate and inconsistent. Wave heights average 0.56m, making this suitable for flat-water trick practice rather than wave riding. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with choppy, shallow-water conditions and minimal swell. Key considerations include tidal fluctuations affecting water depth, variable wind patterns, and the need for careful launch/landing zone selection due to vegetation and rocks. Winter temperatures average 9.9°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection.
