Varberg
Varberg is Sweden's unlikely surf capital—a beach break on the west coast that catches North Sea swells and has developed a passionate local community against all odds. The waves are small but consistent during autumn and winter, the water is cold, and the tide is minimal. But Swedes are determined, and Varberg has become the hub for Scandinavian surfing. Proof that surfing culture can thrive anywhere with enough commitment and stoke.
