Toroe / Stenstrand

Toroe/Stenstrand is a protected bay located on Sweden's east coast, facing south toward the Baltic Sea. The spot features a characteristic sandy spit with gradual depth increase, providing protected shallow water conditions. Dense forest coverage inland limits wind funneling effects. Water conditions are typically choppy with minimal wave development due to limited fetch and bay protection. Wind reliability is moderate at 45.9%, with average winds of 12.1 knots and water temperatures around 8.4°C requiring thermal protection. The spot suits beginners and early intermediates seeking flat-water practice in sheltered conditions. Best conditions occur with easterly or westerly winds providing side-shore flow. Key considerations include checking local access permissions due to residential presence, monitoring shallow sandbars that shift seasonally, and being aware of scattered rocks throughout the bay. The spot works well for progression but lacks significant wave potential.
