Jæren

Norway is known for its exceptional landscape with majestic mountains and peaks, beautiful fjords, seas and secluded bays, beaches and unspoiled lands. Jæren is located in the South and is the largest flat lowland in Norway. Be prepared for cold, air and water conditions, bring the thickest possible wetsuit (i.e.7 mm) along with boots, hood and gloves. You'll be lucky enough to have long, empty viewpoints with unrivaled arctic views. The best surfing season is from fall to spring, the weather is not too harsh, and the waves are also very nice.


Norway has been called a “rare surfing frontier”, Arctic winds can be extremely harsh. Norway’s fourth-largest city is known for being a great surfing spot. Unlike the rest of the mostly rocky Norwegian coast, Jæren does have rocky shores, bergs and boulder reefs. It has long sandy beaches perfect for rushing into the waves. The best surf spots in the country are found along the beaches of Jæren, with a stretch of long, sandy beaches along with granite and pebble reefs. Spots range from easy and gentle beginner beaches to challenging pebble spots. In the summer, long periods of light mean round-the-clock activity and are the perfect time for beginners.
