Solastranden surf forecast

Name: Solastranden
Address: Jæren, Norway

Beach break in Jæren, Norway, scored hour by hour in NORDR against the wind angle for the way it faces, the swell direction it wants, and the tide it works on.

How it breaks

Solastranden is a 2.3-kilometre sand beach break minutes from Stavanger airport, gentle on small days, with the Seldom left point over sand and stone at the south end on bigger southwest swell.

Getting there

Park at the Sola Strand Hotel end or the north end; the beach is a year-round surf and windsurf venue.

Watch out for

Rips run near the groyne by the hotel end.

Local detail

Surfschool.no has run courses here since the late 1990s; it is the standard first-session beach for the region.

Tide dependency: not the limiter

Tide is not what decides whether this break works, so NORDR does not score it as one. Fetch, swell period and the wind angle against the beach do the deciding here.
