Normandie in the guides
Surfing in March March is one of the most underrated months: winter-sized swells start to calm down, the days get long, and the line-ups are still empty from Brittany to Scotland. The water, though, is as cold as it gets, unless you head for the islands.
Uncrowded winter waves Siouville and the Cotentin catch westerly swells, with shelter from southerly winds.
