Mysterious Sweden

For a long time I have heard stories and seen pictures of glassy peeling waves in Sweden and at last I got to surf it myself.


In respect to the local surfers and others who frequent surf the spot I will not reveal its position as it's already tending to be crowded.


The conditions where not really good when we arrived. From others we heard that there had been some good waves in the morning. When we got there the waves was 1-1.5 m with small infrequent sets. All pictures are taken from this time.


After a cop of coffee we went into the water and got some nice ones and luckily the swell got bigger and the biggest was about 2+ m.

Pressure Taken

On December the 29. the forecast was saying 13-15 m/s from S-SV with both an air and water temperature of 4-5 degree Celsius. I think this is my record of late winter surfing as I never really has been into this viking thing. In Denmark the best windsurfing and surfing conditions are in the winter and armed with a 6 mm hooded wetsuite I have decided to continue surfing and windsurfing all year. And to be honest it's only cold when changing into and out off the wetsuite but that is also freaking cold...


This Saturday afternoon in Lynæs was just what I needed. We where only a couple of windsurfers but I think we all got what we came for. To have the pressure taken after some time without any wind. Speaking for myself, I haven't been on the water since Fuerteventura and that is over an month ago. Now I'm just looking forward to some serious wavesailing.
