The southernmost part of Sweden
To fully enjoy this page you need Netscape 3.0 or similar
In this part of Sweden you will find several good
windsurfing spots. The windsurfing season starts in April and lasts until October. During
mild winters sailing is possible if you don't think 5-10 C is too cold. A special seaweed fin is necessary in the summer. Standard
slalom and wave fins are normally not suitable. Most of the sites have sandy beaches and
clean water. No tides but the water level varies depending on weather conditions. Half to
full wet suit required in the summer. Winter sailing requires dry suit. Sailing in
offshore winds is not recommended in Skane. Parking and rigging conditions are generally
good if not stated otherwise. South-westerly winds are dominating. Best windsurfing
condition are after a cold front stretching out from a low pressure moving eastward from
Norway's south tip to Balticum. This gives stable heavy westerly winds. Easterly winds are
normally gusty. BEWARE THAT RESTRICTIONS APPLY TO WIND AND KITESURFING AT MANY PLACES. THE
