Overview

Kitesurf

Coleville is a kitesurf spot on the Côte de Nacre (Calvados), west of Ouistreham near the Orne estuary. This north-facing beach catches the classic onshore winds for this D-Day coast: North-East and North-West.

Tidal spot with sandy beach. Close to the Ouistreham / Riva-Bella spots. The nearby Orne canal mouth creates some current effects at certain tidal stages. A local spot for Caen area riders.
