Spot Overview

LakeSpot Type
BeginnerSkill Level
Inland freshwater with consistent flat water conditions
About This Spot
Oysand Camping is located on the eastern shore of a Norwegian lake or fjord inlet, with the water body extending westward. The spot sits within a developed camping area with visible facilities, parking areas, and infrastructure along the waterfront. The water is extremely flat with minimal wave energy, indicating a sheltered inland or semi-enclosed water body with limited fetch. Wind reliability is critically low at 2.9%, suggesting this location experiences calm conditions most of the time. The spot is best suited for beginners seeking flat-water practice in protected conditions when wind does arrive from the north (side-shore). Very shallow water and frequent pedestrian activity from the camping facility present operational constraints. Cold water temperatures typical of northern Norway require thermal protection year-round. This spot works best during rare wind events rather than as a regular kitesurfing destination. Kiters should exercise caution around camp infrastructure and verify local regulations for the camping area.
