Kvalnes surf guide

Kvalnes is located on the northern coast of Vestvågøy and is the most northerly surf spot on the island. It's situated right by the coast road, making it easy to access. The beach faces north and is rarely surfed, which means it can offer a sense of solitude compared to busier spots. If you're looking for a quiet session, Kvalnes might be worth checking out, especially if you can catch it at the right conditions.

This spot can handle swell sizes around 3ft (about 1 meter) and works best with northwest swells but can also pick up swells from the southwest and north. The waves here break over boulders and you can find both lefts and rights, making it a bit versatile. For the best conditions, aim for low to mid or even high tide, and if you can catch a south wind, it’s likely to set up nicely for a surf session. It's a good choice for intermediate surfers looking to enjoy some waves without the crowd.

Kvalnes offers a unique experience for those willing to explore less popular spots. With few people around, you can enjoy the waves at your pace. Just be mindful that it might not always be firing, so it's a good idea to have other spots in mind just in case conditions aren’t ideal.
