The spot is pretty much a huge bay which works in all Eastern wind directions, depending on what part of the bay you are at. When onshore you can get a 0.5m-1m swell in strong winds and quite heavy chop. In Southern or Northeastern directions you get pretty flat water (small chop).

In summer generally very light winds, autumn would be considered the windy season here with quite strong winds. We have no consistent winds here, so there are no really dominant wind patterns. Luckily it is an island, so it is possible to kite in all wind directions. Best is however NE, E, SE when we get waves at a beautiful spot further in the north.

Find Kalmar on a map, it's located in the south eastern part of Sweden, near the island of Oeland. From Kalmar you drive over the bridge to Oeland, here u take the road north towards Byxelkrok, Borgholm. You drive on this road, past Borgholm, Lottorp. About 8km after Lottorp you will arrive at Boeda. Drive thru the town until you see a sign Boeda Camping, turn right in on this road and follow it down to the beach. You can park about 50m from the beach behind the dunes. Now get out your gear and ride.
