About This Spot
Storvika is a sheltered bay located on the Trøndelag coast of central Norway. The spot sits adjacent to an active industrial facility with associated maritime operations. The bay itself features relatively protected waters with a mix of flat and shallow areas, particularly visible in the upper sections where mudflats and sandbars are present. Water conditions are predominantly flat with minimal wave action, making this a flat-water focused destination. Wind reliability is very low at 4.4%, and average wind speed is modest at 6.2 knots, suggesting this spot requires patient weather windows. The location suits beginner to early intermediate kiters seeking flat-water conditions with minimal swell interference. Best conditions occur with northerly winds that provide side-shore flow across the bay. Kiters should be aware of industrial activity, occasional boat traffic, and shallow water zones. The protected nature of the bay makes it unsuitable during storm conditions but ideal for light-wind practice sessions. Access and facilities benefit from proximity to the industrial area infrastructure.
