Jullouville

Jullouville is a sheltered beach break located on the Normandy coast of northwestern France, oriented toward the northeast. The spot features a long sandy beach backed by dense residential development and forested areas inland. The relatively protected bay setting and low wave energy make this primarily a wind-dependent spot suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking flat water conditions. Average wind speeds of 10.1 knots with only 29% reliability indicate this is an inconsistent location requiring patience for suitable sessions. Northwest to northwesterly winds (315°) provide side-shore conditions parallel to the beach, optimizing both safety and ride quality. The shallow, choppy water conditions are characteristic of bay environments with limited fetch. The spot works best during Atlantic weather systems bringing sustained northwest winds. Kiters should note the limited space due to residential density, making early morning or off-peak visits advisable. Water temperatures around 13°C suggest appropriate wetsuit protection year-round.
