Orrestranden surf forecast

Orrestranden is Norway's longest continuous sand beach, five kilometres of shifting bars, with a stone point at the south end that breaks both ways when the sand has built up around it.

• Rip currents strengthen on bigger days along the open beach.

Wind-sensitive: the long rippable walls only line up when the bars align, best on northeast to east wind.

The southern point zone sits in a bird reserve where surfing is prohibited from 1 October to 31 March; the open beach stays legal year-round.

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