Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Rocky spot between Cap Gris-Nez and Boulogne. A solid NW swell is essential. Get in the water at the parking area and explore the rocks on each side. Authentic fishing village atmosphere.
Best from September to March, when large Atlantic depressions send a swell into the Channel.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Audresselles usually works best around mid-rising. The tide shapes the sandbanks and the depth over the reef, so check the day's tide times before your session.
Audresselles is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Audresselles comes broadly from South: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Audresselles, you can also check conditions at Wimereux, Wissant, Équihen. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
