Siouville.

Siouville sits at the southern end of a sweeping 16km arc of beach running down from La Crecque through Biville on the Cotentin Peninsula. The break throws up shifting A-frame peaks over a sandy bottom, offering both left and right options across a wide stretch of shoreline. The wave tends to be slopey and medium-paced at smaller sizes but can step up to fast, steep walls with a hollow lip when a solid SW or NW swell fills in - locals draw comparisons to the Les Landes beachbreaks of southwest France on those sessions. It handles a slight southerly in the wind without falling apart, which widens the usable window. Rising to high tide is the sweet spot, when the banks fill out and the section holds shape; low tide often drains the wave into close-out shorebreak. The beach faces directly into the Atlantic fetch from the SW through NW, giving it reasonable regularity through autumn and winter. Being part of a broad dune-backed beach means peaks are spread out and surfers naturally disperse, so the lineup rarely feels tight even when a few crews are out. Nearest alternative breaks include the more exposed reefs and harbour setups around Diélette to the south, and Le Rozel further down the peninsula for a different profile. Entry is straightforward across the sandy beach with free parking close to the shore.
