Örudden Artlöt (Töre Peninsula)

Örudden Artlöt (Torö Peninsula) is a small, low-profile kitesurfing launch with clean, choppy water and generally small waves. It’s defined by its proximity to a road and a bridge, plus additional near-shore hazards such as power lines and shallow rocky entry in places. The spot is often used as an alternative when wind direction doesn’t suit the more famous nearby wave-focused options on the peninsula. Wind-wise, the best direction is reported as NW, with the spot working mainly in April, May, and again in September and October. Conditions are typically frontal and can be moderately gusty; turbulence is also possible close to the bridge and shoreline features. Reported typical wind ranges vary between sources, but generally fall in the low-to-mid teens of knots for the main usable window, with stronger frontal setups extending higher. Because of the launch layout—narrow grass/sand adjacent to the road/bridge and very limited space for multiple kits—this is not a relaxed beginner spot. Riders should plan to keep clear of the road and bridge, avoid launching in the narrowest parts of any channel, and be ready to manage kite control carefully near the power lines. If the wind is gusty near shore, a safer approach is to walk your gear out into the water before committing to launch. Cold-water kit is a core requirement. Full wetsuits are recommended for much of the season, and drysuits are common for local winter and shoulder-season riding. In the warmest period around July, it may be possible to ride without gloves and booties for some users, but many riders still opt for more protection. Overall, the spot is quiet compared to the main wave launch, yet can feel crowded quickly purely due to the constrained launching area.
