Farstadstranda is a protected bay located on Norway's western coast, characterized by a sheltered water body fed by a river system. The bay faces northwest, with a curved sandy beach and shallow waters near the shore. Rocky headlands frame the western point of the bay, providing some wind acceleration but creating navigation hazards. The spot functions as a lagoon-like bay with moderate water depth that increases seaward. Best wind conditions occur from the northeast, providing side-shore wind parallel to the beach. With an average wind speed of only 8.6 knots and 20.2% wind reliability, this spot requires patience and careful timing. Water temperatures average 7.7°C, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. The small wave average (0.85m) indicates consistent but modest swell penetration. This location suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking sheltered conditions with manageable obstacles. Tidal and river current effects require attention, particularly in the mouth area. The shallow bay limits suitable riding area during low water.
