Lofoten

Lofoten, Norway, is known for having the best waves in the country. Windsurfing, kitesurfing and surfing all take place in this beautiful Nordic archipelago, where the water offers fun activities for all ages and levels. Surfing enthusiasts can enjoy what may be the most beautiful cold water surf spot in the world. In addition to enjoying the exciting waves, surfers can view and explore stunning fjords, breathtaking and picturesque landscapes and stunning views, not to mention the Northern Lights.


The best time to surf at Lofoten is from November to March. Lofoten is a place to experience inside the heaviest-weight hooded wetsuit with neoprene gloves and boots. In early April, the crescent-shaped bay facing west into the Norwegian Sea is the heart of the surfing world. The Lofoten Islands have become the ideal model for all kinds of cold-water surfing. The waves were first surfed in the mid-1960s.


The mountainous islands are 100 kilometers off the northern coast of Norway, plunging straight into the wild North Atlantic ocean. They wait for the arrival of autumnal waves, which then transform into some beautiful waves over the mountains, rocks, coral reefs and sand. Only from autumn to winter do underground waves have a regular, average period. Located very high in the Arctic Circle, it is mainly where the winds blow from southwest to north. In the summer, when the wave stability indicators are too low to plan a surf trip.
