You won't be surfing at Asa - it's miles inland and nowhere near the sea.

I only passed thru there once, it was pronounced Yotenborg... or similar to
that spelling... my relatives live farther inland, some in the state of
smoland, the rest in or near stockholm (we've been there once and they came
here once to buy a camaro and ship it back).

My #2 daughter got back from 10 days in a Finland in late July, she said it
was the rainy season and it rained on them each day at girl scout camp. About
4 hours of twilight and that was it for nighttime.

If you get the chance (and it still runs), ride the hydrofoil at Malmo.

Well, I think the Baltic is supposed to be cleaner than it once was...
But isn't that kinda like surfing on Lake Erie?

Water looks to be about 70 degrees... nice swimming weather... but you

The Baltic Sea is definitely not clean, but fortunately Göteborg is on
the other side of Sweden. Still, not a place where I would head if I
was into surfing. (Can't think of any other reason to go there
either.)

"Rainy season" is a misleading term for Finland. It implies a
completely different climate, in which there are dry seasons and rainy
seasons. Typical Finnish summer weather is half an hour of sunshine,
half an hour of rain, then clouds (repeat all through the day). This
July was extremely wet, with floods in very surprising places like
Riihimäki. Often it is the sunniest and warmest month of the year,
which is why most Finns spend their summer vacations in July.

Well... there is this thing called currents... now, they say by the time
the Chicago River has reached Peoria that what we dump in it is diluted
enough... but I wouldn't surf there either...

Ah, so summer, based on your definition is a rainy season?

More reason to go to Gothenburg then to any other place in Sweden!

But if you are looking for surfing we don't have so much to offer.
Windsurfing of course but real surfing no.

Hey John...did you know that they even have on-line AA meetings up there in
Finland....

And did you know that Finland's Baltic neighbour Estonia has a higher
percentage of internet users than any country in Western Europe (except
Finland)...???

I guess you are defending your point here. However, I just hastily skimmed
one most recent listing on "internet penetration" in European countries. In
Finland it was 0.51 and in Estonia 0.33 out of the total population. For
instance in Sweden the figure is 0.76 while both in Iceland and Holland it
is around 0.66.

I was trying to say that there is no great difference in rainfall
between seasons - except, of course, that in winter the rain comes in
snowy form. Early summer is usually less rainy than late July or
August.

Use Siemens or Sony - their phones are better and don't break up so
easily.
