Local tips

Rocks lie in the water near the landing, and the current runs north. Worth a look when Vorupør is crowded. Water drops to about 5 °C in winter: a 5/4 or 6/5 wetsuit with boots, gloves and a hood.

Crowd and vibe
Few surfers.

Stenbjerg Camping and Krohavens Familiecamping are both about 2 km away. Nearest campsite about 2 km away.
