Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Mixed pebble/sand beach break surfable on a solid, well-established NW swell. Lefts and rights often better at mid to high tide. An active local surf community keeps the stoke alive year-round.
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.
Veulettes usually works best around mid-tide. The tide shapes the sandbanks and the depth over the reef, so check the day's tide times before your session.
Veulettes 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 Veulettes comes broadly from South: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Veulettes, you can also check conditions at Saint-Valery, Veules, Sotteville. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
