Overview

On this stretch of the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, we navigate on large Normandy beaches with a body of water that changes significantly with the tide. Around Granville, the sessions are often cleaner at low tide, while the Avranches area also benefits from wide spaces exposed to the wind. The spot is varied, with flat areas in places and, depending on the conditions, a bit of chop or waves in the more open zones. It is especially important to keep an eye on the tidal range and the current when the coefficients are high. This is a popular area for both progression and sending, with a fairly active sliding atmosphere around Granville and Jullouville.
