La Boulangerie Sangatte

La Boulangerie in Sangatte is a beach break located on the English Channel coast of northern France, facing northeast toward the water. The spot comprises a narrow strip of sandy beach backed by dense residential development and agricultural land. The coastline orientation and prevailing wind patterns suggest northwest winds (315°) provide the most consistent side-shore conditions. Water conditions are typically choppy with modest wave heights around 0.78m. This is a beginner-friendly spot suitable for light wind kitesurfing and progression practice, though space is limited due to coastal urbanization. Wind reliability is moderate at 39.2%, requiring patience for suitable session windows. Water temperatures average 12°C, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. The shallow near-shore waters and proximity to residential areas mean riders should respect local beach usage and maintain awareness of crowded conditions during peak seasons. Fetch distance from this continental position is limited, contributing to smaller wave development.
