About Hundested strand
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NW (331°), so it takes swell from the NW. The wind blows offshore from the SE (151°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits beginners and up. It works in 4–15 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 6.3 km out (1 in 625). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 3°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 19°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Hundested, 0.3 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 3 wind sports spots and 1 dive site.
Water about 9°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
