Langrune

Langrune is a sheltered beach break located on the Normandy coast of northern France, facing north toward the English Channel. The spot sits within a developed residential area with clear urban infrastructure visible inland. The shallow, choppy waters and modest wave heights (0.59m average) make this a beginner-friendly location with minimal swell exposure. The beach is protected and relatively enclosed, creating predictable conditions but limited power. Best conditions occur with easterly winds (90°), which blow parallel to the north-facing shore as proper side-shore flow. The spot experiences low wind reliability at just 25.1%, suggesting it's suitable primarily during specific weather windows rather than as a consistent destination. Water temperatures average 12.4°C, requiring proper winter wetsuits. The presence of rocks along the coastline and shallow tidal features necessitate careful launch and landing planning. Ideal for beginners practicing in controlled conditions and those learning fundamental kitesurfing skills rather than progression or wave riding.
