Malens Havsbad

Malens Havsbad is a small bay located along Sweden's east coast, characterized by a sheltered inlet with predominantly northwesterly facing shores. The spot is a shallow bay environment bordered by dense forest and residential development, creating a protected but somewhat constrained kitesurfing location. The water conditions are typically choppy with modest wave heights averaging 0.47m. This is a beginner-oriented spot suitable for light wind conditions and skill development. The main limitation is the extremely low wind reliability at 17.1%, meaning consistent riding days are rare. Best winds approach from the northeast (70°), providing side-shore conditions. The shallow, choppy waters make this ideal for learners, though the forested surroundings and narrow beach access limit space for launching and maneuvering. Average wind speeds of 8.4 knots are marginal for kitesurfing; stronger conditions occur infrequently. Local residential proximity suggests checking local regulations regarding beach access and noise considerations.
