Saltstein surf guide

Saltstein is a surf spot located near Nevlunghavn, popular among surfers coming from Oslo. The area can get quite crowded, especially when the local surf scene is buzzing. The waves hit the boulder reef from deeper water, creating some rideable options, though it often feels like the fetch is a bit limited.

The spot works best with a southwest swell and can handle sizes around 2 ft (0.6 m). You can expect both left and right waves, primarily breaking over boulders. While it might throw some workable walls now and then, more frequently, you'll find the waves to be onshore and somewhat messy. The ideal conditions usually come with a low to mid tide, and if the wind is from the northeast, it tends to clean up the surf a bit, making it easier to catch rides. This spot is suitable for intermediate surfers looking for a challenge.

Although Saltstein might not offer the best conditions every day, it's a spot you can explore. Since there aren't many other surf options nearby, you might find yourself sharing the waves with several other surfers, so be prepared for some crowding.
