Vänerstrands (Bomstad) is a protected bay on Lake Vänernen, Sweden's largest lake. The spot features a sandy beach nestled between forested peninsulas, with residential development and marina infrastructure visible on the shoreline. The bay opens to the southwest, creating a protected setup suited for lighter wind conditions. The narrow bay orientation and surrounding trees create wind acceleration and deflection effects typical of enclosed lakeside spots. Best conditions occur with northeast winds (45°) that blow side-shore across the bay. Water is relatively flat with occasional small chop, making this primarily a freestyle and beginner-friendly location. The spot receives minimal wind reliability (5%) and weak average winds (6.7 knots), indicating it functions best during seasonal windier periods. Kiters should account for boat traffic in the bay and watch for shallow water near the beach. Trees on the eastern shore create gusty conditions in that area. This spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking protected, flat-water conditions during suitable wind windows.
