Coudeville

Coudeville is a sheltered beach break located on the northern coast of Normandy, France, facing the English Channel. The spot features a long sandy beach with gradual depth progression, backed by residential development and commercial facilities. The area benefits from relatively protected waters with low, rolling waves averaging 0.43m. Wind reliability is modest at 31.7%, with average winds around 10.5 knots. Best conditions occur with northeasterly to easterly winds (60°), which provide side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The spot is characterized by choppy water conditions typical of shallow, fetch-limited areas. Coudeville suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking calm, protected conditions with minimal wave size. The proximity of infrastructure, parking facilities, and boat launch areas indicates moderate boat traffic during peak seasons. Kiters should be aware of shallow sandbars that can shift seasonally and the general low-energy nature of the spot, which demands consistent wind to be viable. Water temperatures average 12.6°C, requiring thermal protection in most seasons.
