Intermediate : Nothing to surf today. Rest those arms.
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Wild bay next to Siouville with 15 km of beach breaks — end-of-the-world vibe. You can always find a quiet peak somewhere along this stretch. Works on all NW/W swells.
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.
Vauville 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 Vauville comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Vauville, you can also check conditions at Siouville, Diélette, Sciotot. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
