The race area, a 15-40 minutes sail from the club depending on race course, will be on the inner part of the Oslo fjord with varied and a bit shifty conditions. The wind can be strong, but is more often in the light to medium range. With wind there can be some moderate waves, in light wind the water is pretty flat. The tide can generate some current, but it is never strong. The water is clean and unpolluted, and without seaweed. The air temperature is typically between 20-25 degrees Celsius, the water around 20 degrees Celsius.
