Additional Information
Respect the environment here as everywhere you go.
Atmosphere
Clean and powerful, a rarity in Sweden. Probably the most consistent spot in this surfstarved land. Best conditions in a southwest or west swell with light winds between south and east. Also OK with southwest winds. Beautiful nature and sunsets.
