About This Spot
Ebeltoft is a sheltered bay kitesurfing spot on Denmark's east coast, facing west toward the Kattegat strait. The bay provides protected waters bounded by shallow sandy areas and designated mooring fields visible in the aerial view. The spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters due to manageable water conditions and reduced hazards compared to open-ocean alternatives. Optimal wind direction is from the north or south, providing side-shore conditions for safe kiting. The average 10-knot wind speed and modest 0.44m wave height indicate this is a flat-water focused destination. Wind reliability at 30.5% suggests sessions are inconsistent, typical for Danish Baltic locations. The shallow bay reduces wave development and creates choppy rather than well-formed conditions. Kiters should account for moored boat traffic, particularly in established anchorage zones, and be aware of shallow areas that could present hazards during low tides. Water temperature around 10°C requires appropriate thermal protection.
Hazards & Safety

Moored boats and anchored vessels in designated zones
Sandy bottom with potential for seagrass
Low wind reliability (30.5%) limits session frequency
Choppy water conditions from fetch limitations
