Åsa Stenudden

Åsa Stenudden is a shallow bay located on the Swedish west coast facing south into the Kattegat strait. The spot features sandy beaches backed by forest, with extensive sandbars and mudflats creating a sheltered environment. The bay's narrow entrance and protected waters result in minimal wave development (0.58m average) and choppy conditions typical of enclosed Baltic waters. The spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking flat-water practice due to low wave exposure and protected conditions. Wind reliability is notably poor at 23.2%, meaning consistent sessions are difficult to find. Easterly winds (90°) provide ideal side-shore conditions parallel to the beach. The shallow bay floor and visible mudflats require awareness of depth variations. Infrastructure nearby (boat launch areas) indicates moderate local activity. Average wind of 9.2 knots is marginal for most kitesurfing, requiring high-performance equipment. Best suited for progression training during rare high-wind days rather than regular session planning.
