Local tips
- Visit earlier in the day in peak summer if you need specific sizes in wetsuits or kids’ gear, as popular items can sell out quickly during windy periods.
- Bring or wear the base layers you usually use on the water so staff can help you choose the right wetsuit thickness and windproof layers for the current season.
- If you plan a long beach session, pick up extra sun protection, a cap and a light wind shell here—Rømø’s breeze can make strong sun feel deceptively cool.

Discover more about WESTWIND Rømø
Island surf hub at the heart of Havneby
WESTWIND Rømø sits on Vestergade in Havneby, the compact harbour town at the southern end of Rømø. Step inside and you move from windswept streets and big skies into a bright, gear-filled space that feels purpose-built for life on this exposed North Sea island. Racks of jackets and hoodies line the walls, neoprene hangs in orderly rows, and the smell of new rubber and wax hints that the beach is never far away. Rømø is known for its huge tidal flats and some of Europe’s widest sandy beaches, and this shop has grown up around that landscape. It caters to people who spend their days chasing wind and waves, or simply walking long, empty stretches of shore, and it shows in the mix of technical kit and casual, easy-going styles on display.Gear for wind, water and wide open beaches
The core of WESTWIND Rømø is watersports equipment. You find wetsuits in different thicknesses for spring chills and late-summer dips, neoprene boots and gloves, and accessories designed to keep you comfortable in bracing North Sea conditions. For kitesurfers and windsurfers there are harnesses, lines and hardware, with staff on hand to talk through what works best in Rømø’s often-strong winds. Beyond performance gear, much of the floor space is given over to beachwear and everyday clothing. Rails of boardshorts, swimwear and UV-protective tops sit alongside soft sweaters, beanies and windproof shells, ideal for changeable weather on the Wadden Sea coast. There are sandals and practical shoes for sand and salt, plus small items like sunglasses, caps and drybags that solve last-minute packing gaps before a day outside.Relaxed coastal style for all ages
This is a place where families, seasoned surfers and casual holidaymakers all browse the same shelves. Children’s wetsuits and colourful beachwear share space with adult technical pieces, so it is easy to outfit everyone in one visit. The aesthetic leans towards clean Scandinavian lines and practical comfort: muted colours, simple cuts and fabrics chosen to handle wind, spray and strong sun. Because the shop is rooted in a real watersports community, the fashion never feels purely decorative. Lightweight down jackets and softshells here are designed for evenings on a breezy terrace, not just city streets. You can pick up a warm hoodie for an early-morning walk to watch the tide roll out, or a simple cotton tee that becomes a souvenir of a salt-scented holiday.Local knowledge and seasonal rhythms
WESTWIND Rømø also functions as an informal information point for those interested in the island’s outdoor life. Staff are used to answering questions about where the wind is best, what kind of suit you need at different times of year, and how conditions change with the tide. The conversation can easily drift from gear to weather patterns, sandbanks and seabirds, giving you a richer sense of the environment you are stepping into. Opening hours stay steady through the week, making it simple to drop by after breakfast or between beach sessions. On stormy days it becomes a natural refuge: a warm, well-lit interior where you can dry off, browse in comfort and perhaps reconsider just how thick your wetsuit should be. On calm summer afternoons it is a good place to escape the glare, pick up extra sun protection and plan the next outing.Part of the wider Wadden Sea experience
Although WESTWIND Rømø is essentially a clothing and gear shop, it forms part of a larger Wadden Sea experience that mixes wind, tides and big horizons. Many visitors arrive for the famous driving beach at Lakolk or the wide flats of the national park; this shop helps them translate that landscape into practical choices. A warmer layer might mean staying out to watch the sunset longer, a better pair of shoes could encourage you to walk further along the shore. As you leave with a new jacket, a fresh leash or simply a beanie to keep the wind off your ears, you step back into Havneby better prepared for the elements. In that sense, WESTWIND Rømø is more than a retail stop: it is a small but useful bridge between indoor comfort and the raw, beautiful coast that surrounds the island.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
