About This Spot
Fiskebäck is a protected bay in western Sweden with marina facilities dominating the southern shoreline. The spot features a west-facing coast with extensive mooring fields and docking infrastructure, indicating this is a working maritime area. The bay is partially sheltered by surrounding forested terrain and rocky peninsulas, which limits wind consistency and wave formation. Water conditions are typically choppy rather than lined swells, with minimal fetch distance restricting wave size to under 0.5m average. The spot suits beginner kiters seeking flat-water progression practice in protected conditions, though the dense boat traffic and mooring hazards require careful navigation. Wind reliability at 26.4% suggests inconsistent thermal and pressure-driven winds typical of Scandinavian lakes and bays. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore angle. The area's natural forest backdrop and protected setting make it suitable for learning, but the infrastructure-heavy environment demands heightened awareness of obstacles and commercial maritime activity.
Hazards & Safety
Moored boats and dense marina infrastructure
Rocky outcrops visible in shallow water
Shallow water near shore limiting wave development
Limited fetch distance due to enclosed bay geography
Potential strong currents near marina entrance
Residential and commercial structures limiting clear wind corridors
