Aalsgaarde is a surf spot that features a jetty setup, making it unique in the area. It's located in a region that can see some decent swells, especially when the winds are coming from the northwest. The waves are generally inconsistent and you won't find it too crowded, giving you some space to enjoy your session. The jetty can help you get out the back more easily, especially when the conditions are right.

The sweet spot for Aalsgaarde is definitely during strong northwest windswell conditions. The best swell direction is northwest, but it can also handle west and north swells. Waves here can range from 1 ft (0.3 m) and break over sand, producing longer lefts that sweep around the jetty. However, these waves often lack the power you might find at other spots, which might be a bit of a letdown if you're looking for something more intense. Low to mid tides work best for this break, making it suitable for beginners who are looking to practice in a less demanding environment.

If you're a beginner, Aalsgaarde can be a good option since the waves are generally mellow. Just be prepared for the inconsistent swell and keep an eye on the wind direction. Since it's not a hotspot, it can be a nice place to work on your skills without too much hassle from other surfers.
