Best Surf Season & Climatology
Best Surf Season (October - March)
For a northwest-facing beach on the Norwegian Sea, winter is the only true show in town. From October through March, the North Atlantic storm track is in full swing, producing average swell heights between 1.4m (4-5ft) and 1.9m (6ft) with periods from 9.5s up to 11.4s. The same weather patterns that drive large W, WNW and NW groundswells also deliver a strong and consistent offshore wind component from E, ESE, SE and SSE (O/OSO/SO/SSO). Ideal wind statistics sit between 59 and 68 percent during this window, which is why Lop Camping holds its shape so well. This is the season to chase: long-period, powerful lines, manageable winds and classic Norwegian cold-water beauty.
