Bagenkop

Bagenkop is located on the western coast of Lolland island in Denmark, facing west toward the Kattegat strait. The spot is a shallow bay with gentle sloping bottom and protected waters, making it suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters. The coastline is predominantly agricultural land with scattered residential developments and natural vegetation. Water conditions are typically choppy rather than wave-prone, reflecting the bay's protected nature. Wind reliability is moderate at 44.5%, with average winds of 12 knots providing marginal but workable conditions. The spot experiences low wave heights (0.55m average) and cool water temperatures (10.4°C), requiring appropriate thermal protection. Best conditions occur with north or south winds providing side-shore flow. The shallow bay bottom and proximity to shore infrastructure mean this spot is better suited for progression rather than advanced wave riding. Kiters should be aware of tidal influences common to Danish straits and check local conditions before launching.
