Surf Guide to Klitmøller, Denmark

Surf klitmoller denmark

Summary

Yes, there is surf in Denmark…and it does get good! Klitmøller is not called Cold Hawaii for no reason. Not anywhere as consistent as Hawaii, this northern surf town is more of a windsurfing spot but when the winds are off, waves peel nicely and offer fun cold conditions for an out of ordinary surf trip.

Klitmøller is located on the north-western tip of Denmark and is populated by less than 1000 people. This far away from tourism and the big city, you are sure to get a true feel of the Danish culture while being able to catch some of the North Sea swells.

 

A surf trip to Klitmøller is a good option for someone looking for a cultural twist to their typical surf trip and once you are on the continent, it is very easy to get around from country to country. Therefore, why not try and do a full European surf trip and visit spots like Hossegor, San Sebastian and Ericeira or if you want to keep up with the cold water fun, you can hop over to Norway.
