Everything Sweden does
the figure in a cell is how many of that place's spots qualify; waves is the column you are on
| Place | Flat water | Waves | Beginners | Foiling | Waves and flat | Schools |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Varberg | none | 1 | 1 | none | none | 5 |
| Skåne - Malmö | none | 1 | 1 | none | none | 4 |
| Båstad | none | 1 | none | none | none | none |
| Öckerö / Hummerviken | none | 1 | none | none | none | none |
| Torkelstorp | 1 | none | none | none | none | none |
| Vivesholm | 1 | none | none | none | none | none |
A cell reading none in one of the five facet columns is a rule no spot at that place matches; in the Schools column it is a place with no school on file. A figure links to that facet's page for Sweden where there is one - 1 of the five clear the three-place gate here - except in the column you are already on, and the Schools figures, which are counts rather than facets.

Also in Sweden
A place is here when at least one of its spots describes waves, surf, swell or a beach break in its water, or is tagged for wave riding, surf or strapless. Spots whose only wave mention is "small waves" do not count. A country needs three such places before it gets a page of its own.
