The above surf forecast table for Feldskoen and Mazeppa Bays provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 12 days. A general guide to surfing at Feldskoen and Mazeppa Bays can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
