About This Spot
Nedre Ålebäck is located on the eastern coast of Öland island in the Baltic Sea, Sweden. The spot faces east toward open water, with a bay configuration offering some shelter from major swells. The area features agricultural land meeting a rocky and shallow shoreline, with small residential settlements visible. This is a protected bay environment with moderate fetch distance and generally small, choppy wave conditions typical of the Baltic region. The spot suits beginners to early intermediate kiters seeking sheltered conditions with minimal wave exposure. Wind conditions are marginal, with low reliability requiring flexibility in planning sessions. Best wind direction is northerly (side-shore), though the area experiences variable patterns. Water temperatures are cold year-round, requiring appropriate wetsuits. The shallow bay waters and proximity to rocks demand careful launch planning and awareness of local conditions before entering the water.
