About This Spot
Kåsa is a sheltered bay on Sweden's west coast facing westward into the Kattegat Strait. The spot features a crescent-shaped sandy beach protected by rocky headlands and wooded terrain. A residential resort, campground, and boat facilities occupy the southern portion of the bay. The enclosed geography provides natural wind protection but creates variable, choppy water conditions typical of Baltic coastal areas. With average winds of 9.9 knots and modest 0.66m waves, conditions are relatively light and inconsistent. Wind reliability of 28% suggests this spot works best during seasonal wind patterns rather than regularly. The bay's orientation (facing west/northwest) favors northerly to northeasterly side-shore winds. Low wave exposure and shallow sections suit beginner kiters seeking flat-water practice. However, limited fetch, residential proximity, and infrastructure visibility detract from the experience. Best conditions occur during autumn and winter months when Atlantic systems deliver more consistent winds to Scandinavia. The spot is most suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters practicing technique in protected waters rather than progression-focused sessions.
