Hvide Sande surf guide

Hvide Sande is a long, exposed beach located on the west coast of Denmark. It's a popular spot for surfers, thanks to its varied conditions and the jetty that offers some limited protection against north winds. The area attracts surfers of different skills, although it's essential to be aware of the local environment and conditions.

The surf here can be a bit hit or miss. Onshore mushy waves are common, but if the wind shifts to the northeast after a storm, you might catch some nice peeling walls that are worth the wait. Hvide Sande works best with a northwest swell and can handle swell sizes starting from around 1 ft (0.3 m). The waves tend to break over sand, making it a safer choice for beginners. You'll find right-hand waves most often, and the best conditions are typically when the tide is low, mid, or high, with east winds complementing the swell.

Also, expect strong rips and some longshore drift, so it's important for newcomers to be cautious in the water. The spot is pretty consistent, especially on onshore days, but clean, surfable days can be less frequent. If you're looking for a place to camp, you’ll find that quiet free camping is generally tolerated nearby.
