Dielette Harbour
Edit SpotAbout
The landscape is beautiful and you are alone. Don't look after the cap: you will discover the nuclear plant of Flamanville. No wave here.
Additional Info:
The wave is working by big swell and is fun: wait for the low tide. At this moment, the harbour is quasi empty and you will find the wave. Photos below are old ones: a jetty has been built. The wave is not as good as before but it seems that the wave is coming alive little by little as the sand comes back.
