General Information


Surf Conditions in Cold Hawaii

The beautiful Thy region is located in northwest

Denmark. The coastal towns Vorupør, Klitmøller and Hanstholm are at the heart of this region, known as Cold Hawaii, and offer a wide range of surf spots for all levels and in (almost) all conditions.

When is the best time to surf in Denmark?

You can surf in Denmark year-round, but most people come between June and October for milder temperatures and longer daylight hours. In fall and winter, the waves tend to be bigger and more powerful – perfect for those who love cold water surfing! June is the perfect time for empty line-ups, sweet swells and never ending day-light!

Since we can’t control the ocean, we can’t promise perfect waves, but we guarantee to make the most of whatever conditions we get!

What if there are no waves?

No problem! We’ll focus on other key elements of our program or add new ones, like:

  • Surf-Skating – to practice surf skills on land and gain balance
  • SUP Sessions – to build strength, stability and ocean security
  • Yoga and Breath Work – to enhance flexibility and awareness, while reducing anxieties and insecurities
  • Theory and Workshop Sessions – on (long-) board culture, ocean literacy, de-colonial surf her*story, forecast reading, boards & material, ….

We believe surfing is a puzzle made up of many pieces – riding waves is just one of them! 


Program & Catering – What to expect during your surf week

Arrival & Schedule

  • Arrival: Planned for late afternoon of the first day
  • Introduction & Goal Setting: A chance to get to know each other, set personal (surfing) goals, and go through the week’s schedule
  • Flexible Planning: Our program is centered around surf conditions – we’ll determine the best times to be in the water based on wave and wind direction, the tide and your personal progression goals

The program ends on the last evening, so you’re free to leave at your own paste the following day.

Food & Catering

  • Welcome Soup: A warm meal awaits you on arrival
  • Sirens Dinner: A delicious shared dinner mid-week
  • Basic Kitchen Supplies: Spices, tea, oil and essentials are available

EVENING HIGHLIGHT – COLD WATER SIRENS FILM NIGHT

A curated selection of inspiring films with a feminist perspective – sometimes featuring exciting guest speakers.

Pricing

OUR GOAL IS TO ACT SUSTAINABLE, FAIR AND ACCESSIBLE

fair wages for coaches and facilitators – we reject the (self-) exploitative working conditions common in the surf industry

supporting local businesses – we avoid big chains and prioritize small, community-driven shops and services

SLIDING SCALE PRICING

Not everyone has the same financial means and surfing is a sport that is not easily accessible to everyone. 
In order to make it possible for as many people as possible to take part in our program, we use a sliding scale system based on the Green Bottle Method, an instrument for economic justice developed by Alexis J. Cunnigfolk. Those with greater financial privilege contribute more, allowing those with less access, to pay according to their means.

TEAM RIDER SPOT – FULLY FUNDED PARTICIPATION

We are facing an ongoing climate catastrophe and the rise of fascism.

From time to time, we offer fully funded Team Rider Spots

for individuals who are disproportionally affected by:

systemic oppression

wars & forced migration

gender-based violence

activism burnout

If this applies to you or

someone you know, please reach out.

What is included

we always plan the weeks around what the ocean offers us and therefore adapt the program if necessary

Accommodation in Twin room

for a single occupation there’s an extra fee of 249€

How to Get To Cold hawaii


The region of Cold Hawaii is both 450km away from Hamburg or Copenhagen, making it easily reachable by car within about 5 hours. Klitmøller, where most of our surf weeks take place, is a small coastal village with a supermarket, cafés, and surf shops.

CARPOOLING & LOCAL TRANSPORT

  • Carpooling: Before your surf week starts, we’ll set up a chat group so you can arrange shared rides.
  • On-site transport: You should be able to carpool to reach the surf spots that are not within walking distance.

TRAIN & SHUTTLE OPTION

Prefer public transport? You can take the train to Thisted, the closest station. From there ,we can arrange a shuttle for a small fee. You can also combine train and bike for a more sustainable journey!

“I had the time to get to know me and my individual surf style!!”

“All the surf camps I’ve been to so far have been about learning to pop up quickly and get into the line up. I had no idea what to do in the line up, what the rules were, let alone how to get out without taking a wave.

At Cold Water Sirens it was completely different: they looked closely at my pop up and corrected it, taught me basics to help me get to know my board, the surf spot and most importantly myself. Nothing was fast fast, but at everyone’s own paste with a very understandable built up. Thank you CWS, that I had the time to get to know me and my individual surf style!

What every surf camp advertises, CWS keeps simply interpersonal and also professional. It’s never about fast, fast, but consciously at your own pace.

Thank you CWS for this offer that keeps what it promises!”
