About This Spot
Brusand is a beach break located on the southern Norwegian coast, facing south toward the North Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with a meandering river mouth that creates distinctive current patterns visible in the satellite imagery. The water's turquoise coloration near shore indicates shallow areas and sandbars that shift seasonally. Rocky outcrops at the southern end provide some shelter but present collision hazards. The beach is bordered by residential development and a caravan park, reflecting its recreational significance. With average winds of 10.5 knots and low reliability at 33.5%, sessions require careful planning and patience. Easterly or westerly winds provide side-shore conditions suitable for kitesurfing. The spot suits intermediate riders with wave experience, as conditions can be variable. Water temperature averages 9°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The river mouth creates localized currents that demand awareness of drift patterns. Best sessions occur during consistent wind periods from autumn through spring when Atlantic systems bring more regular conditions.
