Lulhaellan

Lulhaellan is a bay-style kitesurfing spot located on Sweden's east coast facing the Gulf of Bothnia. The spot features a shallow estuary environment with mudflats, scattered rocks, and small islands creating a protected bay setting. Water conditions are choppy with variable currents influenced by tidal flows and freshwater input from surrounding areas. The coastline orientation toward the east means northerly and southerly winds provide side-shore conditions suitable for kitesurfing. Wind reliability is notably low at 10.6%, requiring careful wind monitoring before sessions. Water temperatures around 4°C demand proper thermal protection year-round. Average wave heights of 0.40m indicate minimal swell, making this primarily a wind-dependent spot. Best conditions occur during high wind events when northerly or southerly winds align with the bay geometry. The shallow bay with obstacles suits intermediate riders who can navigate tight spaces and manage variable wind conditions. Avoid sessions during weak wind periods and be aware of tidal stage effects on water depth and current strength.
