About This Spot
Fjaervoll is a sheltered bay located on Norway's northern coast, characterized by a sandy beach fronted by turquoise shallow water and rocky underwater features. The bay faces roughly westward with rocky headlands framing both sides, creating a semi-enclosed water body suitable for intermediate riders. The spot receives modest wave heights averaging 1.61m with variable conditions. Wind reliability is notably low at 20.3%, requiring patience for suitable sessions. Best conditions occur with northerly winds that provide side-shore orientation parallel to the beach. The shallow, clear water allows for rocky hazard visibility but limits wave development. Water temperatures average 5.4°C, necessitating full thermal protection year-round. The sheltered nature reduces fetch and exposure but creates a manageable learning environment away from heavy ocean swells. Visible farmland and scattered buildings indicate light local presence. This spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with cool water, rocky terrain awareness, and variable wind windows. Local knowledge of tidal influences and current patterns is recommended.
