Ireviken Fårö

Ireviken on Fårö Island is a protected bay with a northwest-facing coastline in the Baltic Sea. The spot features a narrow sandy beach bordered by dense coniferous forest, with shallow, choppy water conditions typical of the region. The bay's enclosed nature provides some protection from open ocean swells, resulting in small, wind-dependent waves averaging 0.71m. Scattered rocks visible in the water indicate a rocky bottom with shallow shelves near shore. Best conditions occur with northeasterly winds approaching from the side-shore direction (45°), though the low wind reliability of 16.4% means sessions are infrequent. Water temperatures average 9.3°C, requiring thermal protection. The spot suits beginners due to small waves and protected conditions, though limited fetch and shallow water demand careful navigation. The dense forest restricts launching/landing areas to the beach itself. Low wind frequency makes this a secondary option, best combined with other nearby spots during Baltic wind windows.
