Technical details of Vesterø Havn spot

Spot functioning

Vesterø Havn harbor is on the southwest coast of Læsø. Stokken works best in south to west winds. Flaget is more versatile. The island's small size allows quick spot changes depending on wind direction. Flat water conditions are present in virtually all conditions.

On the water

Ultra-flat and shallow water. Stokken: channel approximately 2 km long and 100-150 m wide, depth 0-150 cm, no rocks. Flaget: area between the harbor and the reef, depth 20-100 cm, very large flat water surface. Sandy bottom throughout. Incredibly long runs possible - several kilometers. Dream conditions for freestyle and foil.

Required level

Beginner

Spot opening date

Open all year round
