Lineup Insights
The Wave
Best on north offshore with southwest swell, though west and northwest energy also works when the beach is firing.
Plenty of swell is needed for the spot to turn on, and high tide is when the shorebreak can get most powerful.

Public access and parking are straightforward off Route du Fort de l'Eve, but the late-day lifeguard gap means the beach can feel more exposed than the map suggests.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
