Hamresanden, Norway is a Shallow, Flat and Chop spot.
The launching/landing area is reported to be of Small size.
Very nice sandy beach with a nice launching spot. Plenty of launching and landing room. Some rocks by the seaside make most bathers prefer the more secluded inner beach. Even during summer. The beach is shallow for very long and then suddenly drops. Watch out for shells. If you spend some time walking upwind, it is recommended that you use shoes all year round to prevent cuts in the foot sole. Two beaches downwind exit points. The first right next to the launching spot, the next in the inner bay by the road. This one has a nice grassy area for landing.
Mostly flat with the chop building up with the wind, as the beach is unprotected. No waves. Kiting is in front of the launching area, towards the bridge and the areas to the west of this line.
