03 · Location

In context.

A wide, flat, macro-tidal fine-sand beach on the Cote d'Opale, backed by dunes toward chalk cliffs. It hosts kitesurfing, windsurfing and wave riding, producing beach-break waves in north-easterly storms, the area's top wave spot then. Hidden wooden groynes become invisible at high tide; strong Channel currents run through the water, so advanced skill is recommended. FFVL-certified for kitesurf. Seasonal rescue cover runs 12:00-18:00; unguarded otherwise.

Can 4Shor provide more accurate forecasts than my existing app?
