Siouville

Siouville-Hague, Normandy, France
🪸Sharp reef🪨Rocks

Siouville is Normandy's hidden gem—a quality reef break on the Cotentin Peninsula that produces powerful, hollow waves when Atlantic swells wrap into the English Channel. The wave is significantly better than most people expect from Normandy, with genuine barrel potential and consistent form. The water is cold, the reef is sharp, and the region's D-Day history adds gravitas to surf sessions. For surfers exploring northern France beyond the famous southwest coast, Siouville is the revelation.
