About This Spot
Breivikeidet is a bay located in northern Norway with a northwest-facing coastline. The spot features a complex tidal environment with visible sandbars and mudflats that shift with tidal cycles. The bay offers partially protected conditions compared to open ocean exposure, making it suitable for intermediate riders. Best wind direction is from the northeast (45°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The shallow waters and tidal flats require awareness of water depth changes and current patterns. A road runs along the shore with access points visible. Wind reliability is very low at 4.2%, making sessions unpredictable. Average wind of 5.7 knots is marginal for kitesurfing. The extreme northern latitude means extended daylight in summer but limited daylight in winter. Cold water temperatures (3.6°C average) necessitate proper protective gear. This spot suits intermediate riders experienced with variable conditions and tidal management who can assess daily conditions for viability.
Hazards & Safety
Shallow sandy areas and mudflats visible in water
Strong tidal currents indicated by sand bar patterns
Rocky outcrops and debris visible along shoreline
Limited fetch distance due to bay configuration
Varying water depth creating uneven conditions
Possible strong offshore currents near headland
