How it breaks

Kvassheim is a right-hand point over sand and stone beside the lighthouse that holds shape in long south to southwest swell, with rides up to 150 metres on the best days.

Watch out for

Strong currents develop once waves exceed two metres, and rocks line the point.

What locals know

Holds three metres and more when the beach breaks max out.

Kvassheim lies in a bird reserve where surfing is prohibited from 1 October to 31 March, which covers most of its south-swell season. Check the Jærstrendene protection rules before travelling.

Tide: not the limiter

NORDR applies no regional sandbank penalty here. Check the fetch, swell period and wind direction for this break.
