Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Klitmøller, the old fishing village in the middle of Thy National Park, is known among surfers as Cold Hawaii, and it owes that name to the currents and waves around the Ørhage headland, where people ride waves all year round. It is no coincidence that the PWA youth windsurfing world cup is held here in September. The beach faces north-west, so a north-westerly blows straight onshore and west and north come in side-on, while a south-easterly blows offshore across the land. The tide hardly matters, because at Hanstholm high and low water differ by less than half a metre. Come here mainly if you are already used to waves and current.
No statutory kite ban found; the Hanstholm reserve ends at the high-water line and does not cover the water. Check the bathing zones on site. Source: BEK 181/1995 § 2.
The open water at Klitmøller faces NW (307°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the northeast, east, south and southwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the southeast, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
