Lapposand Hönö

Lapposand on Hönö is a bay-facing east in the Swedish archipelago, characterized by rocky, granite-lined shores typical of the west coast. The spot features a protected bay with visible skerries and rocky outcrops that create hazards but also provide some wind channeling. Water conditions are consistently choppy due to shallow depths and rocky bottom. Best conditions occur with northerly winds (side-shore), which funnel down the bay. The proximity to residential development indicates moderate recreational boat traffic. Wind reliability is relatively low at 36.3%, making this a spot where sessions require patience and weather checking. Water temperatures average 9.4°C year-round, requiring thermal protection. Wave heights are modest (0.65m average), with most energy from wind-generated chop rather than swell. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with rocky, technical terrain and variable conditions. Beginners should avoid due to hazards and choppy water; advanced riders may find conditions limiting. Launch areas are constrained by the developed shoreline.
