Additional Information
The wave is working by big swell and is fun: wait for the low tide. At this moment, the harbour is quasi empty and you will find the wave. Photos below are old ones: a jetty has been built. The wave is not as good as before but it seems that the wave is coming alive little by little as the sand comes back.
Atmosphere
The landscape is beautiful and you are alone. Don't look after the cap: you will discover the nuclear plant of Flamanville. No wave here.

still efficient - La vague n'est certes plus la même mais en cas de grosses conditions, une vague rentre dans le port et permet le surf et le bodyboard ou body-surf, ce malgré l'horrible quai destiné aux colis du futur réacteur nucléaire EPR qui stoppe la vague le long de la jetée.
Ca marche en moyenne 5 à 10 fois dans l'année. Quand c'est très gros en mer.

learn French (like me, a dutch guy) - "La vague n'existe plus depuis qu'ils ont fait ce putain de port ( c'est notre "LA BARRE" du Cotentin ) Dommage car c'etait vraiment une bonne vague. Elle se surfe encore maintenant à marée basse derriere la jetée en face des blocs mais bon plus rien à voir ....."The wave doesn't exist ever since they have closed the harbour. It is a pity because it was such a good wave. She could only be rode with low tide behind the jettyblocs but there's nothing more to see...
