Alnon / Stornaset

Stornaset is a sheltered bay on Sweden's east coast characterized by a narrow entrance and protected lagoon system. The spot features a sandy/shallow water interior with rocky formations and scattered vegetation, backed by coniferous forest. The bay opens westward to deeper water, with a funnel-like entrance that concentrates water flow. Wind reliability is notably low (4.5%), typical for sheltered Swedish coastal bays. North winds (0°) provide the most viable side-shore conditions, though southerly winds can also work when present. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable navigating confined spaces and variable conditions. Water temperatures average around 5.6°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The extremely small average wave height (0.33m) means this location functions as a flatwater spot reliant on consistent wind. Hazards include shallow submerged rocks, narrow passage navigation, and tidal current effects at the bay entrance. Best conditions occur during seasonal weather windows when arctic high-pressure systems deliver consistent northern flows.
