Forecast for Tuesday 1 September
Intermediate : Nothing to surf today. Rest those arms.
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Small resort between chalk cliffs. Occasional surf near the mouth of the Scie river. A super spot when conditions are right — sheltered from the worst of the wind.
Best from September to March, when large Atlantic depressions send a swell into the Channel.
Ideal for starting out or longboarding. Mellow waves, little current, surf school usually nearby.
Pebble beach — watch entries/exits and impacts. Booties useful.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Pourville is rather accessible to beginners when the waves stay small and the wind is light. Still, check currents, tide and local guidelines before entering.
The ideal wind at Pourville comes broadly from South: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Pourville, you can also check conditions at Dieppe, Quiberville, Sotteville. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
