Siouville is a sizable beach located along the Channel coastline, facing west towards the Atlantic. It’s part of a long stretch of sandy shores that can be a bit tricky. This spot is known for its big tidal range and a flat expanse that leaves surfers waiting for just the right conditions to make it shine. While it mostly caters to beginners with its nice, gentle waves, there are times when the southern corner can serve up some decent action, especially with bigger swells.

The surf at Siouville is best when the swell is coming from the SouthWest or NorthWest, with the waves typically ranging from waist-high (about 1 meter) to head-high (around 2.5 meters). When the swell picks up, you can expect fun lefts and rights to roll in over the sand bottom. It’s a mid to high tide spot that works well when the wind is blowing from the east. Beginners can have a good time here, but be aware that when the size gets up to 8 feet (about 2.5 meters), the paddle out can be tough, and rips can be a concern. The beach is pretty spacious, so there’s generally no need to worry about crowds, especially in the middle of the bay.

Getting to Siouville is straightforward, with parking areas available near the beach for easy access. Though it’s a chill place to hang, keep in mind the local vibe—it’s a quiet spot where you can often find yourself enjoying the waves without feeling too crowded. If you’re planning a visit, the best times to come are in the autumn months from September to November, when the surf is most consistent.
