Le Bloc (Flamanville)

Le Bloc (Flamanville) is a sandbar beach-break surf spot on the northern side of the Siouville area. It’s known for working across all tides and for providing both left and right waves, with swell starting to come in from below 1m and holding up to around 3m+. Wave form is typically described as hollow/fun and “regional classic,” with a common ride range of roughly 50–150m on standard conditions. On stronger days, rides can extend to about 150–300m, and the spot is noted for becoming more powerful and hollow as swell builds toward the 3m level. For wind, frontal winds with a typical winter bias are highlighted, with a reported typical range of about 15–30 knots and a “fair” reliability rating. Offshore winds from the East and Southeast are said to groom the waves into cleaner faces, while the northern cliffs can create wind shadow/turbulence effects in northerly directions. Safety is a key part of the spot profile: reef/rocky areas are reported (especially toward the northern end near the cliffs), along with moderate tidal currents and occasional rip currents. Riders are advised to re-check sandbar positions after winter storms, use the designated access/parking area, and bring appropriate cold-water gear since conditions are described as cold to mild.
