Klitmøller – Cold Hawaii
Klitmøller, Denmark
Klitmøller, nicknamed Cold Hawaii, is Denmark's most famous wave spot and one of Europe's top wave wingfoil destinations (although we personally like Hanstholm better!). The exposed North Sea beach receives powerful Atlantic swells and strong W winds, creating world-class conditions that have hosted international surfing and windsurfing competitions for decades. The vibrant local surf scene makes it a true watersports village. When its west- north west, head north to Hanstholm.
