Nordborg lagoon is a shallow, enclosed water body located on Als Island in southern Denmark, oriented northeast toward the Alssund strait. The spot consists of calm, protected waters bordered by agricultural land with visible tidal flats and algal growth patterns. This is a flat-water lagoon environment with minimal wave development, making it unsuitable for wave riders but potentially suitable for freestyle or freeride kitesurfing in light wind conditions.
The lagoon offers very sheltered conditions with limited fetch, resulting in small, choppy water rather than organized swell. Wind reliability is low at 26.2%, with average winds around 9.8 knots—marginal for kitesurfing. Side-shore wind from the southeast (135°) would be optimal for the northeast-facing shoreline. The shallow, muddy bottom and soft conditions make falls less impactful but require awareness of soft bottom inconsistencies.
This spot suits absolute beginners seeking calm-water practice in extremely protected conditions, though wind scarcity may frustrate sessions. Water temperatures average around 10°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. Local agricultural activity and private land access require verification of public water rights before use.
