Hummervik Öckerö

Hummervik is a small protected bay on Öckerö island in the Swedish archipelago, characterized by rocky limestone cliffs and a sheltered water body. The bay opens westward toward the North Sea, providing exposure to Atlantic weather systems while remaining partially protected by surrounding terrain and outer skerries. The spot features a bay configuration with multiple rocky points and shallow areas that require careful navigation. Kelp beds are present, typical of cold Nordic waters. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (0°) that provide side-shore flow across the bay entrance. The 10.6-knot average wind and low 33.4% reliability indicate this is a seasonal spot dependent on weather patterns. Water temperatures and choppy conditions suit intermediate kiters with navigation skills. The tight bay setting demands awareness of shallow rocky hazards and kelp. Launch and landing areas appear limited to the small beach/cleared area near the village. This spot works best during winter North Atlantic storm systems when winds are more consistent. Summer conditions are typically light and unreliable.
