Good wave spot. The water is very shallow specially when the sea level is low. On the end of the right hand side (when facing to the sea) there are some rocks which you can see on the bottom of the wave.
500-700m long, very nice beach, facing North. During the biggest and hottest tourist season (around July) there might be 50-100 people enjoying the sun. So no problem even in the high season. During the windy, surfing sessions the beach is empty. There is a lot of room to for launching and therefore safe even for the beginners.
In general the weather is quite cold here in Finland but there are a couple of weeks you might surf even without any wetsuit. You can start the season after the ice has gone, around beginning of May. Possible to surf until mid of October. Off-season only snowkiting possible.
Drive 55-60 km up north from Vaasa to Kokkola. Turn left to Munsala and you see Y crossing take left to Hirvlax. Drive approx 5 km, take the first turn right to Hirvlax. Then go directly pass the "downtown" of Hirlax, pass two small shops approx 5 km and you see a small sign Storsand and Klippan on your left side. Drive and enjoy the beautiful quiet nature of Finland.
