About Veules les Roses
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces N (344°), so it takes swell from the N. The wind blows offshore from the S (164°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 550 m out (1 in 57). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 8°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 19°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Veules-les-Roses, 0.6 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 14°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
