Description

Sangatte - France Sangatte features a beach break with both right and left waves over a sandy bottom. The spot is accessible from Calais via road D940, with instant access to the beach in under 5 minutes. Ideal conditions arise with a north swell and minimal wind, making it suitable for fun, albeit powerless, sessions at all tides. While Sangatte may not be the premier surf destination, it offers a unique atmosphere due to its proximity to the EuroTunnel and the ongoing humanitarian situation. The beach is less crowded during the week, providing a tranquil environment for surfers seeking a casual experience. However, caution is advised due to potential rips and pollution. For those willing to wait for the right conditions, Sangatte can deliver enjoyable surf sessions, especially during significant swells.
