Quiberville

Quiberville is a sheltered beach break located on the Normandy coast of northern France, facing northeast toward the English Channel. The spot features a gently sloping sandy beach with visible tidal sandbars and coastal management structures typical of this region. The low average wind reliability of 24.1% and modest wave height of 0.74m make this a light-wind specialist location best suited for beginners and progression riders. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°) providing clean side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The spot's proximity to residential development and the complexity of tidal patterns require local knowledge. Water temperatures average 12.2°C, necessitating appropriate thermal protection year-round. The shallow, gradual beach entry and weak swell make this ideal for learning fundamentals but challenging for developing advanced techniques. Sessions are most feasible during periods of consistent northwest wind, which occur infrequently based on the reported wind reliability data.
