About This Spot
Juelsminde is a small bay located on Denmark's east coast where residential development meets the Kattegat strait. The spot features a sheltered beach-break environment with two marinas visible in the northern section. The coastline faces east toward deeper water, with a gradual sandy beach and shallow bay conditions typical of this region. Water conditions are generally choppy with very small average wave heights (0.33m), making this primarily a wind-dependent spot rather than a wave-riding location. The presence of marinas and boat infrastructure indicates moderate boat traffic, particularly during summer months. Wind reliability is low at 26.9%, with average winds of 9.8 knots, suggesting this spot requires careful wind forecasting. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (side-shore), which provide safe offshore conditions relative to the beach. The spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters due to flat water and protected conditions, though limited wind makes consistent session planning difficult. Kiters should respect marina operations and avoid busy boat corridors.
Hazards & Safety
Marina with moored boats and potential boat traffic
Shallow water areas near beach
Sandy/muddy bottom with potential for soft spots
Residential area proximity - limited space for error
