Habo Ljung Panoramic Webcam in Lomma, Skåne, Sweden
Habo Ljung — Coastal Area in Lomma Municipality
Habo Ljung is a neighbourhood in Lomma Municipality in Skåne County, Sweden, located on the shore of the Øresund Strait. The small settlement lies approximately 15 kilometres north of Malmö and 2.5 kilometres south of Lomma town centre. This location is best known among water sports enthusiasts — thanks to the shallow waters and consistent wind, it offers ideal windsurfing conditions year-round.
The webcam is positioned to capture the coastal area with a parking lot and road, along which a promenade stretches. In the foreground is a green grassy meadow, followed by an asphalt road with parking spaces. Beyond that begins the waters of Lommabukten Bay, where passing vessels are visible on the horizon.
Windsurfing in Habo Ljung — Why People Come Here from All Over Sweden
Habo Ljung is one of the regular venues for Swedish windsurfing championships, alongside Apelviken in Varberg, Torkelstorp, Klagshamn, Kungsbygden, and Haga Park on Öland. The location's popularity stems from its unique characteristics: the shallow, flat water with small waves suits windsurfers of all skill levels.
The spot is popular among windsurfers due to the low water level and strong onshore winds. Recommended wind directions for riding: SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW. Notably, kitesurfing conditions at Habo Ljung are independent of the tide, making the spot predictable and convenient for planning sessions.

Seasonal Changes on the Habo Ljung Webcam
In autumn and winter, Lomma Municipality conducted road safety initiatives to reduce vehicle speeds through Habo Ljung — the road and new adapted bus stops were opened on 18 February. These changes are visible in the stream: updated road infrastructure, new signs, and barriers.
In winter, the camera shows the parking lot being used less intensively than in summer, but windsurfers don't disappear — winter conditions in Lommabukten Bay attract experienced riders who enjoy strong winds and empty waters. The real-time webcam shows how activity on the water changes depending on the season and weather conditions.
What's Visible at Night on the Habo Ljung Camera
In the dark hours, the stream clearly shows street lighting illuminating the parking lot and the road along the promenade. The water surface of Lommabukten Bay is visible thanks to light reflections from nearby houses and streetlights. On the horizon, the lights of passing vessels can be distinguished — the Øresund Strait remains an active shipping lane around the clock.
The green meadow in the foreground becomes a dark silhouette against the lit road at night. Road signs and temporary construction barriers are also distinguishable thanks to reflected light. The night stream from the webcam allows you to assess the extent of street lighting in this coastal area of Lomma.
Coastal Zone Infrastructure
The camera captures not only natural features but also infrastructure elements that make Habo Ljung convenient for recreation and sports. The asphalt road with parking spaces allows you to drive right up to the shore. The promenade along the coastline is used both for walks and for preparing equipment before heading out on the water.
Street lighting operates in the evening and at night, ensuring safety in the parking lot and on the road. Road signs inform drivers about speed limits and traffic directions. Temporary construction barriers visible in the stream indicate that the coastal zone infrastructure is periodically updated.
Lommabukten Bay and Shipping
The body of water captured in the webcam frame is Lommabukten Bay, part of the Øresund Strait connecting the Baltic Sea with the Kattegat. Vessels of various sizes are regularly visible on the horizon — from small yachts to cargo ships following one of Scandinavia's busiest maritime routes.
For windsurfers, it's important to be aware of the bay's shipping traffic — large vessels can create swells that affect riding conditions. The real-time webcam allows you to assess vessel traffic intensity and plan your time on the water.
What the Camera Shows
The panoramic Habo Ljung webcam broadcasts a view of the beach in Lommabukten Bay. In the foreground is a green grassy meadow, followed by an asphalt road with parking spaces where cars are parked.

The location is designed for windsurfing, with a promenade visible along the shoreline.
The stream operates in real time, allowing you to monitor conditions on the water, the number of cars in the parking lot, and weather conditions in Lommabukten Bay. This is especially valuable for windsurfers who can assess in advance whether it's worth heading to Habo Ljung on a given day.
