About This Spot
Rullsand is a bay kitesurfing spot located on the Swedish coast near Stockholm, facing northeast into the Baltic Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with dense forest coverage inland and a residential area visible on the eastern shoreline. The bay provides protected water conditions with moderate fetch distance, making it suitable for learning and progression. Water conditions are consistently choppy rather than wave-driven, indicating reliance on wind texture rather than swell. Best wind direction is from the northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. The spot experiences low overall wind reliability at 11.2% and modest average wind speeds of 7.6 knots, suggesting this location is marginal for kitesurfing and best visited during high-pressure systems or seasonal wind patterns. Average temperatures around 7.4°C indicate this is primarily a cool-season destination. The shallow bay waters and nearby residential structures require careful spot selection within the bay. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking protected learning conditions during optimal wind windows, though consistent sessions may be limited.
