Veulettes-sur-Mer

Veulettes-sur-Mer is located on the Normandy coast of northern France, facing northeast toward the English Channel. The spot is a beach break characterized by a narrow sandy beach backed by residential development and green agricultural land. The coastline features subtle rocky outcrops and cliff formations, particularly on the western flank. This is a developed beach break rather than a remote spot, with visible infrastructure, buildings, and what appears to be a small harbor or mooring area. The fetch distance across the English Channel provides consistent wave generation. With average wind at 10.8 knots and moderate wave heights around 0.87m, conditions are typically mild. Best conditions occur with northwest to west winds (approximately 315°), which approach side-shore to the northeast-facing beach. The low wind reliability (35.7%) and modest wave size suggest this spot suits intermediate riders seeking manageable conditions. Cold water temperatures (12.3°C) require appropriate thermal protection. The proximity to buildings and infrastructure demands awareness of landing zones and crowds. This spot works better as a secondary option when stronger wind and larger waves are unavailable elsewhere on the Normandy coast.
