The updated forecast a few hours later showed more or less the same pattern, maybe with a notch more south in the wind direction. But still a forecast that looked sur-able on both seas with the Kattegat getting a late start probably in the early afternoon. I decided to drive to the Baltic Sea coast.
Like on the occasions before one of my first stops was at the ancient Viking stone setting, mainly because it might be a good idea again to honour the ancient gods but also because this place seemed to be a good one to get a first overview on the swell quality. On the way up the hill I had the first view on the Baltic Sea and yes, there was some wind swell out there. I also spotted a lineup filled with a couple of surfers down at the harbour. Instead of walking straight to the “Ales Stenar” I walked over to have a better view on the break.
It looked good at first first glimpse as the harbour wall did its best to bend the wind-swell into an area the was sheltered from too much side-shore wind chop by the wall. Waves were breaking with a longer right and a shorter left. But on closer observation I realized that the waves were very weak. Surfers had difficulties even to catch waves despite using pretty large longboards. The point on the other side looked more interesting but had a lot of wind on it.
