About Toveisbukta

Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.

The spot faces W (281°), so it takes swell from the W. The wind blows offshore from the E (101°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 600 m out (1 in 62). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 5°C in March, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 16°C in August, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January, February and December, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Bore, 1.9 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 6 surf spots and 3 wind sports spots.

Water about 11°C: 4/3 or 5/4, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
