Water

Marine bathing water on the English Channel coast. The site experiences tidal variations with marnage (tidal range) varying by tidal coefficient. Currents are influenced by tidal phase, with distinct patterns during flood and ebb tides.

Location

Luc-sur-Mer, Côte de Nacre, Normandy, France. The bathing zone is delimited and marked with signage on the beach.

Facilities

Signage and public information displays are present at the beach.

Water Quality

Water quality is monitored for enterococci and E. coli concentrations. The beach has been subject to quality assessments for bathing purposes. Monitoring results show seasonal variations and episodes of contamination influenced by rainfall, tidal coefficients, and wind conditions. The Capricieuse watercourse and the eastern outfall of Luc-sur-Mer are identified as potential pollution sources affecting water quality.

Risks

Algae stranding (échouages d'algues) has been documented. Contamination episodes are associated with rainfall events, tidal conditions, and wind direction. The beach is subject to inputs from the Capricieuse watercourse and sewage outfalls.
