Løkken gets a mix of chop and waves depending on location and wind. When the wind is from Southwest (sideshore) surfing is best North of the pier = nice, big, good spaced, rolling waves (up to 3m high, good for paddle surfing as well) and no current. When the wind is from West and Northwest there's a lot more chop between the waves and it can become a bit messy. North and south of the pier doesn't matter then.

Beach Users: |
July, August |
A very wide sandy beach. Near the pier and city there are small beach huts on the beach. Also during summer there can be a lot of tourists and bathers. The beach is open for traffic, so beware also of cars. When surfing in summer it is advised to seek further south or north on the beach, as there are less people and cars here. But this is mostly a problem from mid June to mid August.

Otherwise the weather can be a bit wet during summer (due to all the low pressure systems that roll over Denmark).

Excellent! Almost like some of the places in South Spain during the summer. Denmarks answer to Ibiza. Too many places to name them all! Go to town and you can't miss the action!
