Calais

Calais is an N-facing beach break in Hauts-de-France, France. It picks up swell from WSW and N to NE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 78% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the S: light winds or S breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while N onshores chop it up.
