About
Saxemara South is a small, low-profile kitesurfing beach/launch on the Saxemara coast, characterized by clean water and choppy conditions with small waves. The water setup is generally described as shallow near shore before deepening, with rocks and stones both at the edge and in the shallows, which makes the entry/launch zone the main technical consideration. Wind-wise, the spot is best when the wind comes from the south, with April and October specifically highlighted as the top months. Reported wind strength varies by source, but sessions are commonly in the light-to-moderate range (with gustiness described as steady/moderate), so riders may need to size up and be prepared for chop. Access is practical but involves a short walk: park at the Saxemara northern public bath, then follow the trail behind the campsite to reach the south-side launch area. The launch area can be tight for multiple kites, so launching with an assistant is recommended, and summer days may include beach/campsite activity near the area. Safety planning is important here because there is no dedicated on-site rescue or lifeguard presence. The hazards are primarily the rocks and submerged stones close to shore, so take extra care during shallow entry/landing and keep an eye on changing conditions around the rocky shallows. For emergencies in Sweden, call 112.
