Intermediate : Nothing to surf today. Rest those arms.
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Harbour next to Siouville. Regular waves on a very big NW swell. A good shorebreak can form near the port entrance. Worth combining with a Siouville session on the same day.
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.
Diélette 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 Diélette comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Diélette, you can also check conditions at Siouville, Sciotot, Le Rozel. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
