Unstad beach is facing north-west while the predominately wind and waves are W/SW, which gives the place mostly offshore winds. The lack of daylight during winter months in November to February make this place a challenging surf destination. The flip-side being almost continuous light throughout the summer. From mid April to late August you could surf 24/7. Unstad has a lot to offer for surfers at any level, all year around. https://www.unstadarcticsurf.com/article/unstad-breakbreakdown
