In the southern part of Sweden you will find several good windsurfing spots. The windsurfing season starts in April and lasts until November. During mild winters sailing i possible if you don't think 5-10 C is too cold. A seaweed fin is necessary during the summer months. Standard slalom and wave fins are normally not suitable. Most of the sites have sandy beaches and clean water. No tides, but the water level varies depending on weather conditions. Half to full wet suit required in the summer. Winter sailing requires a dry suit. Parking and rigging conditions are generally good if not stated otherwise. South-westerly winds are dominating during the summer. Best windsurfing condition are after a cold front stretching out from a low pressure moving eastward from Norway's south tip to Balticum. This gives stable heavy westerly winds. Easterly winds are normally gusty and usually blow during early spring.

Vejby udde. Big jumps guaranteed, gybe and wave ride back to the harbour.
Watch out when falling and wasched up on the beach, lots of nasty rocks,
walk back with the board to the harbour and start of in better contition
behind the harbour. (It will save a lot of time and expensive fins)

west winds it can be a bit tricky since it is close to onshore but north west is just excellent.

winds i.e 3.5 m2 and less. But once your are outside where the big ones break it is heaven
