Hallmare

Hallmare is a shallow bay on Sweden's west coast facing westward into open water. The spot features a protected bay environment with dense forest coverage and scattered residential development along the shore. The water body is characterized by choppy conditions typical of shallow bays with limited fetch. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0°) providing side-shore flow parallel to the coastline. However, the spot's viability is significantly constrained by very low wind reliability at 8.4%, making consistent sessions unlikely. Water temperatures average 8.8°C, requiring thermal protection year-round. The shallow bay with rocky features and residential areas makes this suitable primarily for beginners seeking protected conditions, though the sparse wind reliability means sessions are infrequent. Small average wave heights (0.41m) indicate minimal swell generation. The bay configuration provides natural protection but limits wave development. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas near shore, scattered rocks, and local boat traffic. This spot is best considered seasonal and conditions-dependent rather than a reliable destination.
