Biville

Biville is located on the western coast of the Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy, France, facing the English Channel. This beach break spot features a west-facing sandy beach with extensive shallow tidal flats characteristic of the Norman coast. The spot benefits from the bay's geography but is relatively exposed to Atlantic swells. Wind reliability is moderate at 41.2%, with average winds of 11.7 knots - suitable for lighter wind days. Wave heights average 0.61m, indicating small, choppy conditions typical of this protected bay environment. The shallow water and muddy bottom create choppy, textured conditions rather than organized swell. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore (270°) conditions. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters seeking smaller, manageable waves in a bay setting. Key considerations include timing around tidal cycles, which significantly affect water depth and usability, and monitoring for strong tidal currents common to this region. The low average wind reliability suggests this is a seasonal destination best visited during stronger wind periods.
