Kvalvika surf guide

Kvalvika is a scenic surf spot located on the island of Moskenesøy in Norway. It’s known for its breathtaking bay that requires a solid hike to get there. The effort is worth it for the stunning views, but surfers often find the waves to be just average. The spot is a popular stop for those looking to enjoy nature and catch a few rides in a beautiful setting.

When it comes to surfing at Kvalvika, the conditions can be a mixed bag. The optimal swell direction is from the west, but it can handle swells coming from the southwest and north as well. The waves here tend to break over sand, making it a beach break that's suitable for beginners. You can expect waves to work well at sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters). The breaks are mainly left and right, and it’s best to surf during low, mid, or high tide. For smoother surfing, east winds are preferable, but there can be days when the waves just close out, so it's hit or miss.

Kvalvika has a laid-back vibe, and it's not just about the surfing. It's worth noting that two surfers once lived in a driftwood hut here for a winter, cleaning the beach and making the most of the beautiful surroundings. Their story is featured in the film *North of the Sun*, which highlights the connection surfers have with nature in this remote spot.
