About this spot

About

Habo Ljung (Flädie) is a small sandy kitesurfing beach with clean, flat water and a very shallow riding area near shore. It’s described as a safe training environment for beginners and an easy place to practice freestyle because you can walk a long way out before water reaches a deeper, more hazardous level. For kitesurfing, the best wind directions are typically from SSW through NW (SW/WSW/W/WNW are specifically highlighted). Typical wind speeds are often in the range of about 5–12 m/s (around 10–23 knots). Multiple notes emphasize bringing your biggest kite to match these wind conditions, and the spot is generally most attractive when those western to northwesterly winds line up. Safety is a key consideration: the seabed includes sharp mussels and there are also submerged stones/rocks. A long pier extending roughly 200 m offshore creates an additional hazard and also affects where riders should place themselves; one note also mentions kiting around designated access paths/areas. During peak season (mid-June to mid-August) the beach and camping area can get extremely crowded, and rigging/launch space may be limited due to camping usage. Amenities and access are a strength. Paid parking is available near the camping area, gear can often be dropped off by the beach, and toilet/showers/camping services are on-site. Local guidance also mentions that kiting can be restricted to specific zones during peak summer months, so it’s important to respect the designated launch and landing areas.
