Kappelhamnsviken surf guide

Kappelhamnsviken is a deep, fjord-like bay that can be a decent spot for surfing if the conditions align right. It's not the most popular surf destination, which means you won’t usually find large crowds. The waves here can be more consistent with the right swell and wind directions, but don’t expect it to break all the time.

The ideal conditions for surfing at Kappelhamnsviken come when the swell is coming from the Northwest, although it can also handle some waves from the Northeast. The spot works best when the swell is around 3 feet (about 0.9 meters) and breaks over an uneven reef, creating mainly left point waves. The wind is best from the Southwest, and the waves can be surfed at low, mid, or high tide. Keep in mind that the surf is generally more suited for intermediate surfers, and you’ll want the waves to be at least waist high to safely clear the rocks.

This area is also worth exploring beyond the surf, as there are often other spots nearby that may offer better waves on different days. If you like to venture around, you might find other potential breaks waiting for you.
