Tyresö Strand

Tyresö Strand is a sheltered bay location on the Stockholm archipelago coast of Sweden, facing northeast into the Baltic Sea. The spot features a protected cove with residential development, commercial boat moorings, and established docking infrastructure. The bay orientation and surrounding land provide significant wind shadowing, explaining the low average wind reliability of 7%. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°) that align parallel to the coastline, providing side-shore conditions. The protected nature of this bay makes it suitable for beginners and light-wind practitioners, though the average wind speed of 7.3 knots is marginal for kitesurfing. Water conditions are choppy with minimal wave development due to limited fetch. Kiters should be aware of boat traffic in the mooring field, multiple piers extending into the water, and shallow areas near shore. The spot works best during autumn and winter months when stronger Atlantic systems push wind into the Swedish coast. This location prioritizes safety and accessibility over performance.
