About This Spot
Trulsa Gata is a sheltered bay on Sweden's west coast facing westward into the North Sea. The spot consists of a wide sandy bay with visible sand bars and shallow water formations, bordered by residential development on multiple sides. The enclosed nature provides protection from large swells, resulting in consistent choppy conditions rather than organized wave activity. With average winds of 9.3 knots and low reliability at 24.4%, this is a marginal wind spot suitable primarily for light wind sessions. The bay's orientation favors northerly winds for side-shore conditions. Water temperatures average 9.6°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection year-round. The shallow bay bottom and sand banks create variable water conditions. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking protected, light-wind conditions with minimal wave exposure. The proximity of housing and infrastructure requires awareness of local regulations. Best sessions occur during northerly wind patterns when side-shore conditions are established.
