Hafnir Surf Guide

Hafnir in Reykjanes Peninsula is a reasonably exposed reef break that has quite reliable surf and can work at any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds from the east and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the southwest. There is no reef break. Crowds are never a problem here. Take care of rips, rocks.
