Sele Surf Guide

Sele in South and West Norway is an exposed point break that has fairly consistent surf. Offshore winds are 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 angle is from the west. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up.
