Storsand
Storsand, Hurum, Norway
Storsand is a sheltered sand beach tucked into the inner Oslofjord, an easy escape for Oslo locals chasing summer sessions. The shallow bay turns butter flat in light southerlies and picks up real bite when a fresh SW thermal kicks through the afternoon. Beginners love the soft sand bottom and forgiving launch, while locals know it as one of those quiet fjord gems that fills up only on the hottest weekends.

Local tips
Parking is right at the beach but limited on warm weekends so arrive early. The launch zone shifts depending on wind direction so scout before you rig. Water stays cool well into June so a 4mm steamer is your friend. Local kiosk at the beach runs through summer for post session coffee.
