Kitesurfing, wing foiling and foiling at Flyvesandet

Flyvesandet sits on the tip of Agernæs, the northernmost point of Funen, and VisitNordfyn describes it as a fine sandy beach with very shallow water and the island's only real sand dunes. The beach faces north-north-west, so north-west to north blows onshore and west-north-west and north-east come in side-on, while south-east to south blows offshore over the land. According to VisitNordfyn a north-easterly brings the biggest waves, while the island of Æbelø, to the west, gives some shelter. At Bogense, DMI usually puts about forty centimetres between high and low water. In Nærå Strand, the bay to the south, windsurfing and kitesurfing are banned, and from 1 April to 15 July you keep 50 metres away from the spit.

Kiting is allowed on the north coast at Flyvesandet; in Nærå Strand, the bay to the south, windsurfing and kitesurfing are banned, and from 1 April to 15 July you may not come within 50 m of the spit. Source: BEK 228/2019 §§ 6 and 8.

Wind directions & safety

The open water at Flyvesandet faces NNW (341°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, northeast and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the east, southwest and west, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the southeast and south, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
