Kitesurfing at Le Crotoy
CHECKING WIND
Flat water
Beginner-friendly
Le Crotoy sits in the Baie de Somme, where the tide reveals huge sandbanks and shallow channels of flat water. Around high tide the bay becomes a large playground of butter-flat water, making it one of the best flat-water spots in northern France. Watch the tides carefully, as the bay empties quickly.
Best wind directions: W, SW, NW
