Additional Surfing Infos |
| | A fun wave, if you are just learning. Best in winter when it is consistent 2-4ft, also there are no damn shark nets getting in the way. You can see how big it is by looking at the small manmade island straight out to sea. If there is a lot of whitewater around it there is waves, if not, it is flat. A nice beach by Hong Kong standards, and not crowded on weekdays. Go early and you will have it all to yourself. I went at 9 and was usually the first in the water.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Full of kookdogs. Just go early and you will have a good time. When it is 3-4 ft there are two spots. One is a left, breaking right next to the hill on the left side(looking out to sea) of the bay. The other is a left and right breakning to the right of the right side swimming markers. There is also an occasional wave breaking right infront of the rocks on the right side of the bay. Go when it's big, but watch out for the rips. |
| |
General |
Fun wave, I learned to sponge here. Good place to learn, and fun, but forgiving when big. |

Big Wave Bay
Another lesson. Catched plenty of waves and time to try a shortboard. Good tips. The spot is quite crowded but people really friendly. Beginners are welcomed by experienced surfers. That is a real plus.
