Question 1

Is Dieppe the best surf spot in Normandy?

Accepted Answer

It's one of the most consistent. The 2 km NW shingle beach picks up Channel swell reliably. Pourville (5 km) and Varengeville are often better in large swell. For more powerful spots, Veules-les-Roses and Saint-Valery-en-Caux are worth the detour.
