Klitmøller is in the west wind zone all year round. The westerly wind has no obstacles on its way across the open North Sea and therefore blows very constantly. As soon as a low-pressure area passes through, there is first wind from the southwest, which then turns west to northwest. In the south-west it can rain accordingly, with the rain then often pulling off quickly with strong winds and the sun breaking through quickly, often with a grandiose rainbow. The wind forces are mostly 5-7 Beaufort, but can sometimes reach gale force. The wind statistics show a very high probability of 70-80% over 4 Beaufort in spring and autumn and still around 50% in summer. Calm and easterly wind conditions are then rather rare. In the area of ​​Klitmøller there are a variety of spots for windsurfers and kitesurfers. The region on the coast is also called Cold Hawaii. What is special is the coastline from south to north, from Agger to Klitmøller and a bend in the coast to the east in Hanstholm. As a result, all westerly winds are optimally tapped with sideshore conditions. In addition, there are long harbor breakwaters or a shell reef, which means that the waves are then sorted cleanly. The waves have a long run-up due to the open North Sea and, with a good groundswell, achieve fantastic wave conditions with long sets for riding or jumping.
