Pourville.

Pourville is a boulder-and-sand beach break sitting just west of a small rivermouth that effectively divides the beach. Several peaks scatter across this stretch, producing both lefts and rights on a good day. The wave is well-covered and slopey rather than hollow - crumbly faces that roll at medium to slow pace, making it accessible but rarely demanding. A righthand slab sits east of the rivermouth and tends to attract bodyboarders along with the punchy shorebreak on that section. The break needs a solid westerly to northeasterly swell to get going, and the best days arrive when those swells come in glassy under a southeast wind - conditions that are rare on this stretch of the Alabaster Coast but genuinely impressive when they align. Turbid, milky water is the norm here, a product of the chalk and limestone cliffs that characterise the Normandy coastline. The estuary beside the beach introduces additional murk and pollution risk after rainfall. Access is straightforward from the pay car park above the beach, with a direct walk down to the shore. Crowd levels sit at a moderate middle ground - the spot draws surfers from Dieppe and the surrounding area but is not heavily contested outside of peak summer weekends. The beginner-friendly wave shape makes it a common choice for developing surfers in the region.
