A small fishing harbour on Skåne's south coast, near the Ale stenar stone ship. Waves roll in towards the harbour, and a right breaks off the harbour wall over sand. It only works with a strong south-west to south wind swell, so it is rare.

Local tips

It is easy to get in from the harbour wall. Keep clear of boats and buoys at the harbour mouth. Watch the wind forecast more than the swell forecast: go when a strong onshore wind has blown for some hours, and catch the waves as it eases or turns. The sea drops to about 2 °C in winter: a 6/5 wetsuit or thicker, with boots, gloves and a hood.

Getting there

Drive the E65 about 15 km past Ystad. There is a car park, toilets and changing at the harbour.

Travel notes

How often it works
The Baltic has no ocean swell and almost no tide. Waves only come with a strong onshore wind, so it works a handful of days a month in autumn and winter at best, and the waves die soon after the wind drops. Kåseberga needs a strong south-west to south wind, which makes it one of the rarer spots.
Crowd and vibe
Usually empty.
Camping and vans
Löderups Strandbads Camping is about 4 km away. Nearest campsite about 4.2 km away.
Facilities
Car park, toilets and changing at the harbour; fish smokehouses in the village.
Water quality
There is no EU bathing-water site at Kåseberga; the nearest, Sandhammaren about 8.5 km east, was rated excellent in 2023, 2024 and 2025 (European Environment Agency data).
