Olofsbo

Olofsbo is a sheltered bay on the Swedish east coast facing westward into the Baltic Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with a small marina at the southern end and residential development immediately inland. The bay provides protected waters with relatively small, choppy waves typical of Baltic conditions. Wind reliability is low at 27.6%, with moderate average winds around 9.8 knots. Side-shore conditions occur with northerly or southerly winds; northerly winds are preferable given the westward-facing coastline. This is a beginner-friendly location due to shallow, protected waters and small wave heights, though the limited wind and low reliability make it inconsistent for regular practice. The spot suits beginners seeking calm conditions to develop skills, though kiters should avoid peak marina activity times and be aware of shallow areas extending from shore. Water temperature averages 9.5°C, requiring thermal protection year-round.
