About This Spot
Lundåkra is a sheltered bay location in central Sweden, situated within a developed coastal area with marina facilities and residential zones. The spot is characterized by protected waters with moderate fetch, suitable for light to moderate wind conditions. The bay faces south, with side-shore winds from east or west providing the safest conditions for kitesurfing. Water conditions are typically choppy rather than wave-prone, making this a flat-water spot better suited for learning and progression rather than wave riding. The presence of moored boats and marina infrastructure requires careful navigation and awareness of vessel traffic. Average wind of 9.5 knots is relatively light, and the 24.7% reliability means consistent conditions should not be expected. The shallow bay waters and surrounding development create sheltered conditions that can reduce wind strength compared to more exposed locations. This spot is best suited for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat-water practice in a protected environment, though variable wind reliability may limit session frequency.
