Local weather character in Marstrand

  • Bare granite islands offer no friction, so mean wind and gusts are both higher than on the mainland.
  • Sea temperature keeps the island cooler in early summer and milder deep into autumn.
  • Wave height between the islands builds fast in westerly wind despite the short fetch.
