About This Spot
Torhamn is a sheltered bay location on Blekinge's southeastern coast, facing south toward open water. The spot consists of a protected inlet with residential development along the northern shore and agricultural fields inland. Water conditions are typically choppy due to limited fetch and shallow bathymetry. The presence of docks, rocky outcrops, and submerged hazards near the shoreline requires careful navigation. Wind reliability is low at 22%, indicating marginal and inconsistent conditions. Average wind speed of 9.2 knots is moderate. Best winds approach from the east (side-shore), though prevailing patterns are unreliable. This spot suits beginners and intermediates during favorable wind windows, offering protected water but requiring awareness of shallow areas and obstacles. The narrow bay configuration limits wind acceleration and creates variable conditions across the water. Launch and recovery areas appear available along cleared zones, though space is limited. Winter water temperatures around 9.5°C require appropriate thermal protection.
Hazards & Safety
