Audresselles

Audresselles is a small coastal town on the English Channel coast of northern France, featuring a compact beach break with mixed sand and rocky composition. The spot sits along a northwest-facing shoreline backed by dense residential development and agricultural land. Wave conditions are modest, averaging under 1 meter, typical of the English Channel's limited fetch. Wind reliability is moderate at 35.4%, with average winds around 10.7 knots providing marginal conditions. The best window for kitesurfing occurs with northeast winds (45°), which provide side-shore conditions parallel to the coastline. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with variable conditions and crowded beach environments. Limited space and nearby infrastructure require good launch and landing skills. Water temperatures average 12°C, necessitating proper thermal protection. Local knowledge of tidal influence and coastal currents is important, as the narrow beach and rocky features create irregular water movement. Summer months may see higher wind reliability and slightly warmer conditions.
