A right-hand sand point at the southern tip of Agger Tange, next to the breakwater at the mouth of the Thyborøn channel. It only breaks when a very big swell hits the coast, so local surfers save it for days when every other spot in Thy is too big and out of control.

Local tips

A strong current runs out along the breakwater into the channel. Use it to get out, but stay clear of the channel mouth. Water drops to about 5 °C in winter: a 5/4 or 6/5 wetsuit with boots, gloves and a hood.

Getting there

Drive to the end of Agger Tange from Agger and walk to the beach by the breakwater on the channel side.
