Ringenäs

Ringenäs is a beach-break spot located on the western coast of Sweden facing the Kattegat Strait. The site features a long sandy beach with gradual shallows extending into deeper water, backed by residential development and parking areas. The beach break offers predictable, rolling waves suitable for progression but limited by modest average swell (0.62m). Wind conditions are modest at 9.4 knots average with low reliability of 23% annually, making consistent sessions challenging. North winds (0°) provide ideal side-shore conditions for this west-facing coast. Water temperatures average 9.6°C, requiring winter wetsuits for most of the year. The spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters due to shallow, forgiving water and gentle wave characteristics. The proximity of infrastructure allows easy access and facilities. Key considerations include planning sessions around wind windows given unreliable conditions, managing shallow water near shore, and respecting the residential setting with appropriate beach behavior.
