Simstadion Halmstad

Simstadion in Halmstad is located on the eastern coast of Sweden along the Kattegat Sea, facing south toward open water. This is a bay-style spot characterized by a gently shelving sandy beach bordered by extensive residential suburbs and green spaces. The shallow, choppy waters and low average wave height (0.57m) make it suitable primarily for light-wind sessions and beginners. Wind reliability is notably poor at 19.9%, suggesting inconsistent conditions throughout the year. The average wind of 8.8 knots is marginal for kitesurfing, requiring efficient equipment. Best conditions occur with easterly or westerly winds that run parallel to the coastline (side-shore). The residential proximity and visible infrastructure suggest limited space for error and potential for boat traffic. Water temperatures average 9.6°C, requiring thermal protection year-round. This spot is best suited to beginners during the rare high-wind days or intermediate kiters seeking light-wind training in controlled bay conditions.
