Thorsminde Kitesurf Spot in Bolvingbjerg

The water is lovely and flat in the Fjord, and the only hazards are some shallower Kitesurf Spots and a strong current further North. The Fjord area is suitable for every type of wind speed and direction. The wind speed is not fixed as it relies on frontal winds, so the best bet is to keep an eye on the forecast and go when it looks good! It’s mainly a kitesurfing spot, as the water is occasionally very shallow in the shore zones and from the entrance to the north. Windsurfers tend to avoid this spot as they can get their fins stuck/broken on the bottom. The water is pretty flat due to the shallow water, but some chop can be expected in certain spots and certain wind directions, particularly when it gets strong. It’s a popular Kitesurf Spot for Germans and local Danish riders, but there is a lot of space so you should be able to find your own Kitesurfing area in Denmark.

Almost all wind directions can be ridden at Thorsminde Kitesurfing Spot, but NW to NE and SE to SW work best. Because the area is constrained to the north by very shallow water and an adjacent nature reserve, and the south by numerous fishing nets, West and East only function to a limited extent. Winds from the west are typically strong and gusty. 

Thorsminde is the ideal place for a range of water-based activities. Sailing and surfing attract a large number of visitors. Canoeing, rowing, diving, coastal rowing, swimming, and stand-up paddleboards are available at the Sea and Fjord House. Anglers flock to the area from early spring until late October, taking advantage of the opportunity to fish in both the sea and the Fjord. Some of the species available at the pub include herring, mackerel, sea trout, and salmon.

The Great Herring Day and Fish Day are also held at Thorsminde. During the summer, a fish auction is held at the Red Auction Hall for tourists. Keep your eyes and ears open because things move quickly. You can taste wonderful freshly caught fish from the sea and Fjord at Nrgaard Fisk & Rgeri at the event.
