About This Spot
Henne Strand is a west-facing beach break located on Denmark's west coast, featuring a long sandy beach with gradual depth profile. The spot offers a protected environment suitable for progression, with residential development immediately inland indicating established infrastructure and accessibility. The beach receives consistent ground swell exposure from the North Atlantic, though local wind conditions are variable with only 28.1% reliability. Average wave heights of 1.09m suggest this is primarily a beginner to intermediate learning environment rather than a performance venue. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0°) providing side-shore alignment relative to the beach orientation. The shallow, sandy bottom and relatively protected nature make this suitable for newer kiters developing board control and water awareness. However, the modest wind reliability requires flexibility in planning sessions. Water temperature averaging 10.2°C necessitates appropriate thermal protection year-round. This spot works well for group instruction and progression-focused practice, though visiting kiters should expect variable conditions typical of Northern European coastal sites.
