- Best wind directions: SWWSWWWNW
Wide sandy bay on the Côte d'Opale between Cap Gris-Nez and Cap Blanc-Nez, and northern France's classic windsurf and kite beach. South-westerlies blow side-shore and bring a short Channel swell, so in autumn and winter it doubles as a wave spot. The tidal range is big: at low water the sand runs a long way out, and currents pick up near the capes.
