Lefrinckoucke

Lefrinckoucke is a beach break located on the northern French coast near Dunkirk, facing northwest into the North Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with moderate fetch and protection from nearby residential development. The coastline orientation toward 315° (northwest) makes northeast winds (45°) optimal for side-shore conditions, allowing safe kitesurfing parallel to the beach. Average wind speeds of 9 knots are modest, and the 20.7% wind reliability suggests this spot is inconsistent and best visited during seasonal wind patterns. Small average waves of 0.89m indicate this is primarily a light-wind spot suitable for beginners and those practicing technique in controlled conditions. The rough-chop water type reflects typical North Sea conditions. Visible infrastructure and residential areas indicate moderate crowd potential. This spot works best for skill development and light-wind sessions rather than progression or wave riding. Kiters should monitor weather carefully given low wind consistency and be aware of shallow water near the beach.
