Complementary spot to the Kattegat-side Skagen - together they cover all wind directions. 3,423 kiteable hours/year and 2,017 strong wind hours.
Local Skagen surf and kite community.
Works primarily in west to northwest winds (onshore). For easterly winds, use the Kattegat-side Skagen spot instead. The combination of both spots covers all wind directions.
