Ängjarnsudde Öland

Ängjarnsudde is a sheltered bay located on the eastern coast of Öland island in the Baltic Sea. The spot consists of a protected water body with dense forest coverage on the western and southern shores, creating a semi-enclosed setting. The northeastern orientation provides natural protection from major swells while allowing sideshore wind access. Water conditions are typically choppy with modest wave heights averaging 0.58m, making this suitable for progression and light-wind sessions. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°), which run parallel to the primary coastline. Wind reliability is notably low at 19.1%, indicating inconsistent conditions throughout the year. Water temperatures and wind speeds average 9.3°C and 9.0 knots respectively, suggesting spring through autumn as the optimal season. The spot suits beginners and early intermediates seeking protected conditions with minimal swell exposure. Key considerations include shallow water near shore requiring caution on approach, visible rocky hazards on the eastern perimeter, and the need for patience given limited wind consistency. The enclosed nature limits wave development but provides safety for skill progression.
