    During the period 1790-1874 the coast at Ferring receded some 155 m. This sharp coastal recession was a result of the headlands breaching at Thyborøn, which resulted in a drastic change in currents and sand transport along the coast.

    After the first breakwaters were built at Ferring, the coast stabilized and shoreline receding slowed. From 1874 to 1980 the shoreline retreated only 50 m. Today the coast is stable and there is no more retreat.

    The first groynes
    The first groynes on the Danish west coast were built at Ferring by what was then Vandbygningsvasenet (VBV) in the period 1875-76.
