conditions & access

Best wind

ENE, NE, SSW and SW are community-suggested directions. The same contributor calls NE and SW promising for downwinding but explicitly says the site had not been tested on foil; treat these as windsurf-based suggestions, not firsthand wing/parawing confirmation: https://project7iii.com/foildata/map/bjelland

Water

Community-described exposed coastal water in the Arendal region with fewer islands blocking swell and a shallow reef roughly 500 m offshore that may generate bumps. Exact foil depth, reef boundaries, tide, current, launch bottom and landing options are unverified: https://project7iii.com/foildata/map/bjelland

Experience

Unverified community candidate, not a firsthand foil confirmation. The submitter explicitly says the area had not yet been tested on foil and bases the recommendation on repeated windsurfing. Do not present it as beginner or independently rideable without local confirmation; exposed downwind use is advanced planning territory: https://project7iii.com/foildata/map/bjelland

Hazards

Unverified launch/access, open-coast exposure, swell, a shallow offshore reef, unknown rocks/foil depth, tide/current and unknown recovery landings are material uncertainties. The only source is a windsurf-based community suggestion with no foil test; confirm legal access, local rescue options and a complete downwind exit before considering the water: https://project7iii.com/foildata/map/bjelland

“Source page explicitly identifies this foiling location; no additional spot description was available in the fetched page. 2026-08-02 requested-field verification: The exact source now exposes a windsurfer's NE/SW downwind suggestion and a shallow offshore reef, but explicitly says the site was not tested on foil. Experience, season, parking, legal access, camera, surf report, tide/current and foil-safe depth remain unverified.”
