Water

Type:
Shallow, Flat, Chop
Hazards:
Swimmers, Fishernets, Bridge, Stakes
Quality:
Clean
Best Tide:
Tide independent

Flat to choppy water. Shallow in the beginning. Watch out for wooden stakes with fishing nets in the middle of the bay and the wooden bridge. The water in Vemmingbund is mostly choppy, and if you look for bigger waves the spot is recommendable as well, especially when the wind is onshore. You can reach the bottom until about 50 m. out, but from there it gets deep, so to make the most of the hotspot you should be an experienced kiter.

On sunny days East winds will be stronger here due to thermal effects. Although they will be onshore, it can make the little difference between other beaches if you get on the board or not. The surroundings also mean that the Vemmingbund spot is best sailed in Eastern wind directions; further west by the campsite “Gammelmark Strandcamping“, you find a good spot for West wind days.

Extra information

Rules
None

Watch out for wooden stakes with fishing nets in the middle of the bay and the wooden bridge. Stay away from swimmers. At the Vemmingbund hotspot you will find a kiosk that is open all year round, it offers miniature golf, and on the beach there is a wooden pier, so chances are good that non-surfers will find entertainment while you are on the water, but look out for them and others when you are surfing. Since the hotspot is a holiday home area and popular amongst the locals as well, there is much activity both on and off the water, which combined with an emergency triangle, an emergency number sign and land on three sides, gives a safe feeling to the area.
