Overview

Högby Fyr is a kitesurfing spot located on the east coast of Öland island, in Kalmar County. The spot is situated near Högby lighthouse, a well-known landmark on the island. The east-facing exposure toward the open Baltic offers significant fetch in east and northeast winds. Conditions can be challenging in strong winds. South and southwest winds create interesting side-shore conditions. Högby Fyr is a spot for intermediate and advanced riders due to its open exposure to the Baltic. The setting near the historic lighthouse is stunning.
