Kitesurfing at Wissant

Wissant is the best-known kitesurfing spot on the Opal Coast, set in a wide bay between Cap Gris-Nez and Cap Blanc-Nez. The huge sandy beach works on all tides and picks up plenty of wind, with chop and small waves that make it a favourite for freeriders and wave riders alike.

Best wind directions: SW, W, NW
