About This Spot
Fågelöudde is a sheltered bay spot located on the Stockholm archipelago coast of Sweden. The spot features a northwest-facing coastline with a narrow approach channel flanked by dense forest. The bay itself provides relatively protected water conditions typical of Swedish coastal lagoons.
The spot's main characteristic is its sheltered nature, making it accessible for beginners when wind is available. However, the location suffers from very low wind reliability (5.1%), meaning sessions are infrequent and unpredictable. Average wind speeds of 6.7 knots are marginal for kitesurfing and well below typical requirements for progression.
The small average wave height (0.33m) and choppy water conditions indicate this is primarily a flat-water spot unsuitable for wave riding development. Best conditions occur with northeast to easterly winds that approach side-shore orientation. The forested surroundings and shallow bay bathymetry make this spot best suited for absolute beginners practicing body dragging and basic control in light wind conditions, though finding consistent wind to practice remains the primary challenge.
Hazards & Safety
shallow water areas visible near shore
forested terrain with potential obstacles inland
low wind reliability (5.1%) makes consistent sessions unlikely
small average wave height (0.33m) limits progression potential
narrow channel between forested peninsulas may create turbulent flow
potential submerged debris or rocks from forest areas
