Surf Cap Blanc Nez

Cap Blanc Nez - France Cap Blanc Nez features powerful sandbar waves breaking both right and left over a sandy bottom. The spot is characterized by enormous sandbanks, measuring 100 to 200 meters long, and heavy currents. Ideal conditions arise during winter gales that generate north swell, particularly at mid and high tide. Located near Calais, access is straightforward via road D940, with a short walk from a World War 1 memorial tower offering stunning views. The beach is often deserted, providing a unique surfing experience. However, caution is advised due to potential rips and the risk of cliff collapses. Water temperatures are cold, making it essential for surfers to be competent swimmers. Expect to find nice peeling waves around 1.5 meters when conditions align, but be prepared for the challenges of the North surf experience.
