Tæt ved havnen står denne stormflodssøjle, der viser hvilket niveau vandstanden har nået ved forskellige storme/orkaner. Målingerne er fra 1930 og frem.
Det højeste niveau var 3,80 meter over normalt niveau, målt d. 24. november 1981. Stormen i 1981 dækkede hele landet og var specielt i Nordjylland kraftigere end den senere berygtede decemberorkan i 1999. I Thisted godt 100 Nord for Hvidesande, måltes vindstød af 43 m/sek. Grænsen for en orkan er 32,6 m/sek.
