Le Dossen surf guide

Le Dossen is a long sandy beach located in a spot that's super exposed to the wind. This makes it a great place for those who like to sail or kite, as they can catch some serious wind here. The beach tends to spread out the weekend crowd, which is a plus if you're looking for some space to surf.

For surfers, Le Dossen mainly breaks over sand, with optimal swell coming from the west. It works well with swell sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) and can accommodate waves that break left and right. You’ll find that it works best at low to mid tide, but it can hold its own even at high tide. This spot leans more towards beginners since the waves can be forgiving, especially when they’re less choppy near the river. If it's a windy day, the south-east winds are preferable to make things a bit more manageable.

Just a short distance away, there are great camping options if you want to stay close to the beach. And if you're into land yachting, Le Dossen is popular for that too. Those looking for more challenging surf can consider heading over to l’Ile de Sieck, which offers a hollow right reef break that's better suited for advanced surfers.
