About This Spot
Teriberka is located on Russia's Barents Sea coast in the Arctic, featuring a protected bay with a sand and shingle beach. The spot sits within a glacially-carved coastline characterized by rocky headlands and shallow waters. The bay offers some protection from open ocean swells, but numerous rock formations and sandbars create navigation challenges. The water is exceptionally cold (2.5°C average), requiring appropriate thermal protection. Wind conditions are marginal with only 32.5% reliability and 10.8 knots average, making consistent sessions difficult. Side-shore winds from the northeast (45°) or southwest (225°) would be ideal, though northeasterlies are more likely given prevailing Arctic patterns. The spot suits advanced riders who can manage rock hazards, shallow water obstacles, and variable wind conditions. Tidal influence is significant in this northern location. Local knowledge is essential before attempting this spot due to the complex bathymetry and environmental challenges.
