Haga Park Öland

Haga Park on Öland's western coast is a protected bay facing west toward the Kalmarsund strait. The spot features a gently sloping sandy beach with forested areas and a campground immediately inland. The bay's orientation provides natural protection from large ocean swells, resulting in consistently small, choppy waves typical of inland water bodies. Wind conditions are marginal, with average speeds of 8.8 knots and low reliability at 18.5%, making this spot dependent on favorable weather windows. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (around 0°), which approach side-shore across the bay. The shallow water and proximity to residential areas make this suitable primarily for beginners and intermediate kiters practicing in controlled conditions. Water temperatures average around 9.5°C, requiring thermal protection. The spot's main appeal is accessibility and safety rather than consistent swell or wind. Kiters should verify wind forecasts carefully before visiting, as marginal conditions are common.
