Overview

Getterön Havsbad is a kitesurfing spot located in Varberg in Halland County, on the west coast of Sweden. Getterön is an island connected to the mainland by a bridge, known for its ornithological nature reserve and its beaches.

The spot benefits from a west-facing exposure to the Kattegat, perfectly catching the prevailing southwest to west winds. The water can offer varied conditions depending on wind direction, with more sheltered areas on the east side of the island. Havsbad beach provides good water access.

Located near the famous Apelviken spot, Getterön Havsbad is an excellent alternative, especially in northwest winds. The nature reserve imposes seasonal restrictions for bird protection. The spot is suited for intermediate riders.
