About This Spot
Mossbystrand is a beach break located on the east coast of Scania in southern Sweden, facing the Baltic Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with shallow water extending into the bay, backed by agricultural land and scattered residential development. The relatively protected position within a larger bay system creates choppy rather than organized wave conditions. Wind reliability is notably low at 24.7%, typical of this sheltered Baltic location. Best conditions occur with northerly winds that provide side-shore flow parallel to the coast. Water temperatures average 9.7°C, requiring thermal protection year-round. The spot suits beginners due to minimal wave height and forgiving conditions, though the low wind frequency means sessions may be limited. Kiters should be prepared for very light wind days and should launch from designated beach areas away from residential zones. The shallow water and vegetation near shore require careful area selection and awareness of wind shadows cast by trees and buildings.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water and mudflats visible in northern section
Vegetation and trees close to shoreline creating wind shadow
Low wind reliability (24.7%) may require patience
Residential areas and buildings near launch zones
Potential for inconsistent wind due to land obstruction
Very small average wave height (0.62m) limits progression
