One of these waves carried me down the point pretty far and to avoid the gruelling long paddle back up the point against the current I decided to walk back on shore. That wasn´t that easy too as private fenced-off properties reach until the shoreline and I had to stumble along the shoreline banks consisting of lose stones and thorny bushes. At some places I had to walk down and through very shallow water with more slippery stones as seabed. The topography that creates these very nice waves out of these wind-swells has its disadvantages too.
After the session I drove west to have a look at THE major break in the area. The wind was side-onshore here too but not too strong (for Kattegat standards). A solid swell was running with the correct direction and the point / reef was transforming this into some very surf-able lefts.
Despite having witnessed this for a few times now it still stunned me how much quality this coast and particularly this spot can milk out of these swells created by storm-force winds over a very short fetch. Nothing at the North Sea– at least at its Danish and Dutch coastlines – comes close to this especially with onshore wind conditions.
