Spots
Vauville This is one of the most radical wavespots in France. It has huge waves that are rather flat. When the wind blows from the south you get sideshore conditions. Siouville Here you'll find the biggest waves of Normandy. When the wind blows for more days in a row the waves can get more than mast high. There's no shore break, no strong current and a large sandy beach. The best winddirection is southwest. Bout du Monde This spot has slalomconditions near the shore and waveconditions a few 100 meters offshore. Here the waves are created by sandbenches. This makes it able to sail at a high speed into the waves. This spot can only be sailed at high-tide. Coudeville This is a spot for slalom-sailors and (when the wind's not too strong) beginners. At the beach you'll find a surfclub and a few other sailors (it never gets crowdy here). Breville Same conditions as in Coudeville. Hacqueville The beach at this spot is very rocky. The best winddirection here is northwest; then the waves are very good.
Sleeping Near most spots you'll find camping sites. Some of them are only opened till October. Wildcamping is not permitted by law, but mostly allowed. Hotel in Coudeville: Le Relais des Iles
