About This Spot
Rågelund Frillesås is a shallow bay located on Sweden's west coast facing eastward into protected waters. The spot features a mix of sandy beach, mudflats, and shallow bay environment bounded by residential areas to the north and dense forest to the east. A major highway runs parallel to the coastline, marking the inland boundary. The bay's orientation and protection create a side-shore wind corridor for northerly winds. Water conditions are characteristically choppy due to shallow fetch and tidal influences. Wind reliability is modest at 17.7%, requiring patience for consistent sessions. Water temperatures average around 9.4°C, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. The shallow nature and protected bay environment make this suitable for beginners and intermediate riders developing skills, though low average wind speeds (8.4 knots) and inconsistent wind patterns limit session frequency. Small average wave height (0.64m) confirms this is primarily a flat-water training venue rather than wave-riding destination. Tidal cycles significantly affect usable water area.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow water and mudflats visible in bay
Rocky outcrops on western shoreline
Highway running parallel to coast - potential distraction/hazard
Residential and commercial development - limited space
