About
Eneholmen in the Ronneby Archipelago is a small-beach kitesurf spot with clean water and predominantly flat conditions. Wind is most often described around southwest-to-west directions—especially SSW, with SW and WSW also working—giving you the best chance at very flat water in the right wind angle. The key safety theme is rocks near shore, especially on the shorter north-side beach close to land. Multiple sources also describe shallow areas with sandy/mixed bottoms, with deeper water available near the north-side rock and quickly deeper water to the south. That mix means you should plan launch/landing zones carefully and avoid guessing depth in the shallows. Sessions can be affected by gustiness. Moderate gusts are mentioned, and there is specific concern for gusty winds coming from higher northern terrain, which can change conditions quickly. In summer, additional caution is advised due to bathers in the area. Overall, the setup is best treated as a kitesurfing playground: flat to partly flat water with small-wave conditions, workable for freeride and freestyle, and potentially for foil depending on where you ride (foil readiness is described as limited/variable due to shallow and rocky sections). The spot is typically quiet, but boat traffic increases during July and August.
