general information

Right hand point break just out of Reyjkavik and is one of Iceland’s most consistent breaks. Can get crowded by Icelandic standards( which means 10 surfers). On a good day here rides can exceed 300m and get some good shape making for pristine surfing conditions, while average days produce shorter more crumbly waves, but ripable none-the-less.

For the travelling surfer who flies into Reyjavik, this is the main surf spot you will and should hit first.  The actual name is Thorili, but locals will know it as Thor.
