The CORE Carved Lagoon is located on Rømø island, one of the most famous kitesurfing destinations in Denmark and Northern Europe. Rømø boasts some of the widest sandy beaches in Northern Europe, where you can drive your car directly onto the beach. The island is part of the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea National Park.
The "Carved Lagoon" refers to a flat water area on the south/east side of the island, sheltered from the open sea. On the west side, the beach is directly exposed to the North Sea with waves and swell for wave riding enthusiasts.
Kite schools operating on Rømø seasonally. Camps and clinics organized regularly.
The spot works primarily with west to northwest winds (onshore on the North Sea side). The lagoon side (east/south) offers sheltered flat water when conditions are too strong on the west beach. In easterly winds, conditions become offshore on the North Sea side but create perfect flat water in the lagoon. Low tide: huge dry sand area usable for landkite.
West side (North Sea): powerful waves and swell, wave riding conditions. South/east side (lagoon): flat water, shallow, sandy bottom. In offshore easterly winds, the beach width (over 1 km) creates mirror-smooth water, perfect for freestyle. This is the Danish spot with the most strong wind hours: 2,519 hours/year above 22 knots.
