Sæby

Sæby is a beach break located on the east-facing coast of northern Denmark, along the Kattegat Strait. The spot features a sandy beach with residential development immediately inland, creating a protected, shallow-water environment. The water body shows characteristics of a semi-enclosed coastal area with moderate wave generation. Wind reliability is notably low at 30.9%, with average winds of 10.1 knots—marginal for consistent kitesurfing. Average wave heights of 0.52m indicate weak swell, suitable only for light-wind sessions. The choppy water conditions suggest strong tidal influence and wind-driven chop rather than organized swell. Best wind direction is northerly (side-shore), which provides safe offshore clearance from the populated shore. This spot suits beginners during rare strong wind windows or as a training location for light-wind technique. Key considerations include checking wind forecasts carefully due to low reliability, being aware of shallow depths near shore, and respecting the proximity to residential areas and potential maritime traffic.
