Hoddevik

Stadlandet Peninsula, Norway

🪨Rocks🌀Strong rips🏝️Remote

Hoddevik is Norway's most spectacular surf beach—a remote fjord setting surrounded by dramatic peaks where you can surf under the midnight sun in summer or chase Northern Lights in winter. The water is brutally cold (4-12°C), requiring 6mm wetsuits and booties, but the landscape is otherworldly. Atlantic storms deliver consistent swells to this beach, creating fun, punchy waves in one of Earth's most scenic surf locations. Arctic adventure surfing at its finest.
