Steinen is a surf spot that's pretty well-known in the Jæren area, particularly for surfers looking for reliable waves. It's located near Bore, with a few different surf spots lined up to the south, all of which depend on the swell direction and how the sand builds up. This area has a bit of history; for those who remember, Foglingane was a hot spot back in the '80s, but storms really changed things around here. Still, older locals hold out hope for the day that right-hand break returns.

This spot mostly features lefts, but you can catch the occasional right as well. When there's a west or north-west swell, expect Steinen to be larger than many other spots on the North Shore. It's best for swell sizes around 4 ft (1.2 m) and can handle north-west and south-west swells. The waves break over a mix of sand and boulders, with the preferable wind coming from the east. It works well during low, mid, and high tides, making it flexible for surfers looking to get in the water.

Getting to Steinen can be a bit tricky. Some locals pay a fee to a local farmer to use his road down to the spot, so it’s a good idea to reach out to Surfsentrum in Stavanger if you're interested in that. Bore Strand Camping is just a few minutes away, which makes it convenient for those looking to stay nearby and surf.
