Glassy Northsea

The winter has kicked in and the classic NW swell has announced it's arrival. During the winter period it is common with very light or no wind at all along the danish west coast while an arctic low simultaneously is placed over northwest Norway. Which is exactly the conditions that is needed to bring on a big smile during the dark short winter days.

Winter Afternoon Surf

Roelf Hans and me quickly arranged a trip to the west coast to see if 0.5-1 m swell with a 12-14 second period and dead offshore wind could produce anything worthy.


This is from a place south of Thyborøn with several nice sandbars.

Calm Northsea

And these mini barrels belongs to Bunkers.

The short winter days in combination with a need for all you can get feeling didn't leave much time for photography, sorry :)

There is a few more pics here, and a slideshow here

And not to forget, happy Christmas!!!
