It's a pretty big river mouth. When you get here you can choose between flat water in the river or waves where the stream stops and the ocean takes place. The waves are good just hit one of the lip and have a good session. No tides. No rocks in the water.

The beach is clean and just in front of a `national park`. The space to launch is huge. Because the popular beach is three miles away no problems with crowds.

During the summer (June to September), it´s no problem to ride in just board shorts. From April to June and September to October the water requires a 3/2-wetsuit. Other times during the year you need a dry suit. We ride here in 3/2-wetsuit from April to October. But one to two months during the summer we can ride in just board shorts.

One good thing to know about "Mynningen" is that the wind is always one knot stronger in the river mouth. If the wind is weak, it's always a little big stronger when you go out in the river mouth. This depends on the streams from the river "Lagan". During spring "April to May" the river flow can be really high and this gives you an extra push because you ride against the stream. In summer general lighter winds. Fall to spring stronger winds depending on depressions.

Clean up because it is a nature reserve and have fun.
In summer you should just come here for the girls in Bastad and Halmstad. All the blond girls are here during June to August. It's like spring break. Places for party: Pepes Bodega, Madisons nightclub and many more.
