Destination Summary

In fall season, from august to december the winds get really strong from west in storms. Scenery is beautiful with isles and small cliffs in the archipelago. Plenty of flatwater spots kiting around the spot behind the isles and quite okay side on kickers forming for both riding directions. On average 3 days per week with + 20-25 knots cold wind.
Temperature is below 10 degrees from october forward, but winds get stronger.
Once the storm hits, you better be ready!
