Siouville

Siouville is a surf spot located in Normandy, France, on the west coast of the Cotentin Peninsula near Cherbourg. The beach sits between the Biville dune massif and Cap de Flamanville, offering a wide sandy shoreline that faces the Atlantic Ocean. The spot is known for its regular surf conditions and is popular in the area, especially when the wind is from the south, as it is one of the few beaches that works well in those conditions. The bottom is sand, and the spot works at all tides, with large tidal variations that can affect wave quality and safety. The surf spot provides both left and right waves. The beach has many peaks, so even when it gets crowded, you can usually find a place to surf, but always respect the locals and check the surf etiquette when the spot is busy. The quality of the waves is generally considered good, but the waves can close out. The spot is good for all levels, including beginners, and you can use a range of boards like softboards, shortboards, mid-lengths, retros, and longboards. The best surf forecast is with a swell from the southwest, west, or northwest, a minimum swell height of 2 feet, and wind from the northeast, east, or southeast. The Cotentin Surf Club is based here and offers lessons, rentals, and facilities like changing rooms and showers. The area is also suitable for other water sports like windsurfing, kitesurfing, and sand yachting. You can see the nearby nuclear plant from the beach. Nearby surf spots include Dielette Shore Break, Dielette Left, Le Bloc, Dielette Harbour, and Becquerel Point. Always check your skills before paddling out, be sure that the spot and conditions fit your surfing level.
