Hjerting is a spot in the Wadden Sea (Vadehavet), north of Esbjerg, on the southwest coast of Jutland. The spot is strongly tide-dependent — unrideable at low tide, ideal at incoming or high tide. Ho Bay (Ho Bugt) offers lagoon-like conditions in shallow water with shifting sandbanks. Kitesurfing is only allowed from March 1 to September 30 (Wadden Sea National Park regulations).
Open all year round
