Faroe / Ekeviken

Ekeviken is a protected bay in southern Sweden surrounded by dense coniferous forest and characterized by a sandy beach with shallow shelving into deeper water. The bay opens toward the northeast, creating a semi-enclosed body of water with moderate wave development. The spot features mixed sandbars and shallow zones near the beach transition that require careful entry and exit planning. Average wind speeds of 10.2 knots with only 31.8% reliability indicate this is a seasonal location dependent on weather systems passing through Scandinavia. Water temperatures around 9°C demand thermal protection year-round. The confined geography provides side-shore conditions primarily from northwest winds (315°), though this direction occurs infrequently. Choppy 0.69m waves suggest local fetch limitation and wind-against-tide conditions are common. Best suited for intermediate riders familiar with shallow-water navigation and variable wind. The shallow bay entrance and surrounding obstacles require good board control and awareness of tide cycles, which significantly affect usable water area.
