About This Spot
Backyards is a sheltered bay location on Denmark's eastern coastline, facing west toward the Kattegat. The spot features a developed residential shoreline with clear infrastructure including seawalls and piers, indicating limited natural beach access. The protected bay environment creates choppy rather than organized wave conditions, with very modest average wave heights of 0.44m. This is fundamentally a light-wind spot suited for beginners and those practicing in marginal conditions. The shallow water near shore and proximity to residential structures limit ride length and require careful navigation. Wind reliability is poor at 22%, making consistent sessions unlikely. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0°) providing side-shore flow across the bay. The spot works primarily during rare strong wind days when the 9.3-knot average is exceeded. Kiters should expect short runs, choppy conditions, and the need to manage proximity to coastal infrastructure. This location is most suitable for local practice during optimal seasonal windows rather than as a primary destination.
