About This Spot
Huk is a sheltered bay on the eastern shore of the Oslofjord region in Norway, characterized by residential development and dense forest coverage. The spot faces south toward protected water with limited exposure to open ocean swells. The primary constraint for kitesurfing is extremely low wind reliability at only 2.0%, making consistent sessions virtually impossible. Average wind speeds of 5.3 knots are also insufficient for kitesurfing, which typically requires minimum 10-12 knots. The shallow nearshore zones and visible rocky features add complexity. Water temperature averaging 8.2°C requires thick wetsuits. The bay's enclosed nature provides some protection but eliminates the wind acceleration benefits of open coastlines. This location is fundamentally unsuited for kitesurfing due to meteorological conditions. Local water sports enthusiasts would find better wind resources at exposed coastal areas or larger water bodies with greater fetch.
Hazards & Safety
