When to Go

Our season ranges from June until September. Remember that this is a camping trip and you will be subject to the weather. Swedish summer is fantastic, but of course the weather varies from sunny blue skies to windier and rainier days. Temperatures during the day can range anywhere between 17 – 35 degrees, but usually stays around 20 – 28 degrees. Each month has its highlights and sea kayaking in an area like Saint Anna is always beautiful.

Early June

By June early summer is in its pride. It’s incredibly green, there are flowers everywhere and proud bird moms swimming around with their little chicks. The days are really long and it almost doesn’t get dark at all. You can celebrate Swedish Midsummer at the summer solstice, either on your own or go to the traditional celebration at Harstena village.

Pro: very green & lush, lots of bird wildlife, crazy long hours or daylight

Con: water usually does not get warm until mid June, can be windy, most establishments in the area closed until Midsummer

	Celebrate Swedish Midsummer

Late June - mid August

The prime summer months in Sweden. Your best bet for sunny and warm days. By now the water has had some time to heat up and you can get some amazing days out sunbathing on a flat skerry in the outer archipelago.

Pro: beautiful sunny weather, warm swimmable water, long hours of sunlight, all establishments in the area open

Con: conditions may get very windy, mosquitos


Late August - mid September

By late August you won’t see as many flowers and birds, but you will probably be blessed with calmer weather instead. September is seen by many as the actual best month to go sea kayaking in Sweden. It’s starting to get a bit colder but late summer weather is usually very stable. Chance is you get almost mirror-calm water several days and sunsets at the end of the summer last for hours and are absolutely amazing.

Pro: fantastic calm days, amazing long colourful sunsets, good fishing

Con: most establishments close mid August, chillier water even though it usually stays swimmable at least a week into September.


Late September

It’s autumn in the archipelago by now. The colours are beautiful and the air super crisp. You gotta bring a beanie and long johns for this one and preferably have some kayaking and camping experience.

Pro: beautiful, crisp autumn weather, incredible solitude

Con: water starting to get a bit cold, if unlucky with weather can be wet and cold.
