Bore Surf Guide
Fun peaks with walling lefts and rights can be found all along this 3 km stretch of dune backed golden sand. Like many of the beaches in the Stavanger area, this is a great spot in medium sized NW swells - through Bore does tend to pick up a bit more swell than most. its a popular summer spot for surf schools and beginners due to the campsite back from the beach. There's a rivermouth and boulder reef at the northern end. Gets hollower when head high and offshore, but above that tends to close out. Has crystal clear waters and great views across to the lighthouse.
