The harbour of the old fishing village of Mölle, under the Kullaberg headland, on the only cliff coast in southern Sweden. A right breaks over boulders by the harbour, with messier lefts and rights around it. It needs a strong north-west gale, so it doesn't break often, but when it does surfers come from all over Sweden and Denmark.

Local tips

Many surfers jump in from the harbour wall. The rocks on the shore are slippery. One short blow is not enough: it takes about a day of north-west wind to build rideable waves. The sea drops to about 2 °C in winter: a 6/5 wetsuit or thicker, with boots, gloves and a hood.

Getting there

From Höganäs follow road 111 to Mölle, then follow the shore road past the harbour to park.
