Hemmet Strand

Hemmet Strand is a bay-side kitesurfing location on Denmark's western coast, where a sheltered body of water meets agricultural land. The bay's northern and western exposure creates a natural wind corridor, though the protected nature of the inlet reduces overall wind consistency. The spot features sandy/shallow areas suitable for beginners, with marina infrastructure and breakwaters marking the developed sections. Average wind speeds of 10.6 knots are modest, requiring stronger wind windows for consistent riding. The bay's enclosed characteristics mean limited fetch and moderate wave heights (1.12m average), making this a calmer alternative to open-coast venues. Best conditions arrive with northeasterly to easterly winds (45°), which blow side-shore across the beach access areas. Low wind reliability (32.9%) suggests this spot requires patience and wind forecasting diligence. The shallow, protected waters and proximity to residential infrastructure make this suitable for beginners and learners, though visiting kiters should expect variable conditions and coordinate with any local water traffic. Winter months typically offer better wind statistics in this region.
