Stella Plage

Stella Plage is a sheltered beach break located on the northern French coast facing west toward the English Channel. The spot features a wide sandy beach with developed beachfront infrastructure including buildings and promenades. The water shows typical rough-chop conditions with shallow waters extending offshore, making it suitable for progression rather than advanced wave riding. The spot benefits from side-shore winds from the north, which align reasonably with the coast orientation. Wind reliability is notably low at 27.3%, requiring patience for suitable conditions. Water temperature averages 12°C, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. The spot suits beginners and intermediates seeking sheltered conditions with manageable wave heights averaging 0.93m. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas, beach infrastructure, and recreational beach activities. The wide sandy beach provides good space for launching and landing. This location is best suited for learning and progression sessions rather than high-wind or wave-focused sessions.
