Overview

Kitesurf

Antifer is a kitesurf spot near Cap d'Antifer on the Côte d'Albâtre (Seine-Maritime), north of Étretat. This dramatic cape with towering white chalk cliffs has a beach exposed to North-East and South-West winds — an axial orientation along the coast.

Tidal spot. The Cap d'Antifer has a major oil tanker terminal — check for any restricted maritime zones near the terminal. The cliff scenery is spectacular. Wind can be strong and turbulent near the cape due to cliff effects. A striking but demanding spot.
