Kloster lies in the north-west of Ringkøbing Fjord, on the inside of the dune strip at Søndervig, and according to VisitVesterhavet its shallow water is best suited to kiting. The beach faces east-south-east, the opposite of the sea side: east to south-east blows onshore and east-north-east and south come in side-on, while west is already side-off and west-north-west to north-west blows offshore over the dunes. Tide plays no part, because the sluices at Hvide Sande control the level of the fjord. According to the Danish kite association, the municipality asks riders not to kite west of Bagges Dæmning, the remains of a drainage scheme that failed more than 150 years ago, so stay on the east side of the dam.
Outside the no-go areas of the Ringkøbing Fjord reserve; the municipality asks kiters not to ride west of Bagges Dæmning, in the shallow part. Source: BEK 1678/2006 § 5, KBDK map.
The open water at Kloster faces SE (128°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are east, southeast and south (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north, northeast, southwest and west, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the northwest, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
