Hvide Sande Kitesurfing wind conditions

This place boasts the cold weather characteristic of a Northern European region, however the Gulf Stream has a strong influence on the west coast. Because of the warmth brought by the North Atlantic tides, Denmark's winter temperatures are rarely below freezing point. Summer temperatures hover about 20 degree celsius, and the water has a maximum temperature of 17 degree Celsius so not horrendously cold, but a wetsuit would be advised! This is a year round spot for wind, but as it's a frontal wind it’s best to keep your eyes on the forecast. The ideal months to visit this destination in Denmark for kitesurfing and waves are March to early June and September to November, when the wind tends to be at its most consistent and the temperature is manageable. Longer spells of no wind can frequently occur during the summer months, but you can be lucky if you are there at the right time with the right forecast!
