About This Spot
Vääna-Jõesuu is a small bay located on Estonia's western coast facing northeast toward the Baltic Sea. The spot is sheltered by dense coniferous forest and characterized by shallow, choppy water with visible rocky features. The bay configuration provides some wind acceleration but also significant wind shadow effects from the surrounding forest. Average wind speeds are modest at 8.1 knots with notably low reliability at 12.7%, making consistent sessions challenging. Water temperatures are cold year-round with small average wave heights of 0.49m. The spot suits beginner to early intermediate riders seeking protected, shallow-water conditions for learning. Key considerations include limited wind window availability, varying water depths, and navigating around submerged rocks. Best conditions occur with northwest winds that provide side-shore flow parallel to the bay's orientation. The shallow bay bottom allows quick access but demands careful attention to water depth and obstacles. Overall, this is a niche spot requiring patience for wind but offering relative safety due to protected waters.
