Ingaro / Sandarna

Ingaro/Sandarna is a bay kitesurfing spot located near Stockholm in the Swedish archipelago. The site features a protected bay with shallow, choppy waters bordered by dense forest and residential development. The west-facing coastline provides protection from northern and southern swells while offering side-shore wind potential from north and south directions. Water conditions are characterized by wind chop rather than organized waves, making this spot suitable for riders prioritizing flat-water freestyle or light-wind sessions. With average wind speeds of only 8.6 knots and minimal reliability (15.8%), sessions are inconsistent and require careful wind forecasting. The spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking calm, forgiving conditions and easy beach access. Key considerations include shallow water requiring careful navigation, potential residential area conflicts, and the need to check local regulations. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (approximately 0° direction) that blow side-shore across the bay.
