Kitesurfing on Møn works at a handful of clearly named spots: at Klintholm Havn in southerly winds, on the north coast at Ulvshale, at Møns Fyr in strong easterlies and at nearby Kitespot Farø, which has shallow water. Beginners learn at Farø, while Klintholm Havn is a wave spot for experienced riders. In the Ulvshale-Nyord wildlife reserve, kiting is banned in two zones.

Kite spots on Møn and nearby

The wind details come from Møn Surf, from the tourist board VisitSydsjælland og Møn and from the spot guide in SURF Magazin (January 2023). The guide is written for windsurfers and mentions kiters only at Farø. The wind directions still help you choose, as waves and currents affect both sports.

Klintholm Havn

Møn Surf calls Klintholm Havn a strong kite spot in winds from southerly directions, but unsuitable for beginners because waves run and the water is deep. SURF Magazin describes east-south-east to south-east as the wind window, with moderate waves over sand; the harbour breakwater sorts the waves and a current is noticeable. In westerlies it is usually bump and jump. At the harbour there is parking, toilets, places to eat and a small supermarket. More about the village on the page Klintholm Havn.

Ulvshale

The beach on the north coast (Ulvshalevej, 4780 Stege) shelves gently and, according to SURF Magazin, has a large area where you can stand. East and north winds bring bump and jump, a strong north-easterly pushes surf into the bay, an offshore westerly makes the water flat but gusty. Toilets, a kiosk and a car park nearby are available (VisitSydsjælland og Møn, as of October 2026). Ulvshale lies in the wildlife reserve, see below. On the Naturstyrelsen map the beach lies east of the Ægholm Sand zone. The village at a glance: Ulvshale.

Møns Fyr

The spot at the lighthouse south of Møns Klint is a wave spot for easterlies from about 20 knots. SURF Magazin mentions clean waves over offshore reefs, boulders, a noticeable current and few parking places in a small wood. It recommends it rather for advanced riders. Strong easterlies blow there mainly in winter and spring. Background on the coast: chalk cliffs of Møn.

Moenbroen near Kalvehave

At the spot by the bridge between Zealand and Møn, the wind blows best from east to north, according to SURF Magazin. The water is shallow with small wind chop, and there is a standing area at the shore. In strong easterlies a current runs through the Ulvsund. There is no official car park; for a day you can only park with permission from the campsite reception.

Farø

Farø lies between Falster and Zealand and is joined to Bogø by a road embankment (lex.dk). You launch from the causeway east of the Farø bridge towards Bogø. A large shallow area with flat water lies on both sides; VisitSydsjælland og Møn counts Farø among the best kite spots in Denmark and says all wind directions are usable. SURF Magazin rates east to north-east as ideal, and kiters often use the offshore side. Parking on the roadside is possible, but fully exposed to the wind. Boulders line the shore, so walk a few metres further out. From June to August VisitSydsjælland og Møn asks kiters to stay north of Farø, out of respect for the birds in the EU bird protection area. Address for navigation: Farø Vad.

Conditions and season

On Møn the wind comes mostly from the east. According to Windfinder, the Møn Fyr station, which no longer reports, shows an annual average of 12 knots and east as the prevailing direction for the observation period July 1999 to October 2012. SURF Magazin recommends a 4/3 wetsuit in midsummer and a 5/3 with a hood in spring and autumn. There are boulders at the spots, and neoprene boots protect your feet. In summer seaweed can be a nuisance. According to SURF Magazin, wild camping is banned in Denmark and checked.

At the chalk cliffs of Møns Klint, none of the sources names a kite spot. The pebble and fossil beach lies there below the steep walls.

Rules and nature protection

Ulvshale-Nyord wildlife reserve. According to Naturstyrelsen, wind and kitesurfing is banned in Hegnede Bugt and in the Ægholm Sand area. Hegnede Bugt is the shallow bay south of Nyord and Ulvshale, and Ægholm Sand lies north of Nyord. On Ægholm and Tyreholm and in a 50 m zone around Ægholm, access is banned year-round. On Sækkesand access is banned from 1 March to 31 July, and on the meadows south of the road across Nyord from 15 March to 15 July. The zones are drawn on the map in the Naturstyrelsen leaflet; check them before you launch. More on the neighbouring island: Nyord.

Police regulation. The regulation on sailing with motorboats and on board sailing issued by the Sydsjælland and Lolland-Falster police on 31 May 2013 applies from 1 May to 30 September up to 300 m off the coast. Under § 2, board sailing must not obstruct or disturb other shipping or swimmers and must not make unnecessary noise. The text does not name kitesurfing explicitly. If you stick to it, you will have no trouble. Breaches are punished with a fine. Signs on the beach take precedence.

Bathing areas. Do not launch where swimmers are in the water. More on the beaches on the page Bathing on Møn.

Beginners: school and rental

According to its own website, Møn Surf is certified by Dansk Sejlunion and teaches on a mobile basis: 75 per cent of kite lessons take place at Kitespot Farø, right by the motorway exit to Bogø and Møn. The base for café, shop and rental is Klintholm Havn. You book lessons in advance, taking part requires you to be a confident swimmer, and children under 16 come only with their parents. On average, according to Møn Surf, students need 8 to 15 hours of instruction before they can practise on their own. A course with an instructor is a must, and the school calls starting alone with your own gear extremely dangerous.

Rental in Klintholm Havn covers kayaks, SUP and surfboards. You rent kite gear from Møn Surf as part of the semi-private lesson, which is aimed at students who can steer a kite at 12 o'clock while carrying their board. According to VisitDenmark, Surfcenter Falster at Farø (4793 Bogø By) offers courses in kitesurfing, windsurfing and SUP. Kitekollektivet teaches at Feddet near Præstø.
