About This Spot
Skiveren is a beach break located on Denmark's east-facing coastline along the Kattegat Strait. The spot features a long sandy beach with groyne structures visible in the satellite imagery, typical of Danish coastal protection infrastructure. The shallow water near the shoreline transitions to deeper waters offshore, creating variable conditions.
This spot suits beginners to intermediate kiters during consistent wind periods. The best wind direction is northerly (around 0°), which provides side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. With average wind speeds of 9.8 knots and only 28.2% wind reliability, sessions are weather-dependent and may require patience or flexibility in scheduling.
The rough-chop water conditions and modest 0.99m average wave height indicate this is primarily a flat-water or small-wave spot. Key considerations include watching for shifting sand banks, respecting groyne structures, and being aware of boat traffic visible in the offshore waters. The relatively protected nature of this beach break makes it suitable for skill development, though low wind consistency limits optimal conditions.
