Anras

Anrås (near Stora Höga / Stenungsund) is a small kitesurfing spot with clean water and flat-to-choppy conditions. It is primarily a SW-wind launch, with the most consistent months being April, May, and September to October. On the water, the main riding area is described as relatively shallow near shore, transitioning to deeper water further out. Stones and rocks are present—especially close to the beach—so foot protection (neoprene boots) is strongly recommended. Because the launch and landing area is small/tight, it can feel crowded or logistically difficult when many kiters arrive at once. Wind is reported around the low-to-mid teens up to the mid-30s of knots in the best season, with gusting noted (up to roughly 45 knots in stronger conditions). Wind direction guidance centers on SW, and the spot is also described as shadowed from certain southerly/southeasterly flows by the surrounding coastline; overall reliability is described as moderate and tied to low-pressure systems over the North Sea. From a safety standpoint, the primary concerns are the rocky/shallow near-shore sections and tight launch space. Standard right-of-way rules apply, and riders should keep away from swimmers during summer months. Regional context notes limited rescue availability and a nearby SSRS station, with emergency number 112 for urgent situations.
