Höllviken

Höllviken is a protected lagoon spot located on the Swedish coast near a residential community. The site features an enclosed basin with a marina complex on the western side, separated from the open water by breakwater structures. The lagoon provides sheltered conditions with relatively calm, choppy water typical of enclosed bays. The tight basin geometry and marina infrastructure create a compact kitesurfing zone suitable primarily for lighter winds and learning progression. With average wind reliability of only 27.7% and modest wave heights (0.53m average), conditions are generally mild. Northerly winds provide optimal side-shore flow across the lagoon. This spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking protected, flat-water learning conditions away from ocean swell. Key considerations include respecting marina operations and boat traffic, understanding the limited space for riding, and monitoring water depth in the lagoon. The low wind reliability means visitors should expect many days unsuitable for kitesurfing. Summer months typically offer the most accessible window for this location.
