Surfing in Taiwan

The best time to surf in Taiwan is from October to March when the typhoon season is over and waves are consistent. The water can be quite cold during this time, so a wetsuit is necessary.

Some popular surf spots in Taiwan include Jinshan Beach, Fulong Beach, Baishawan Beach, and Wave Hawaii Surfing Club. These spots offer consistent waves and a variety of breaks for all skill levels.

Surfing in Taiwan can be safe, but it's important to be aware of the currents, tides, and any potential hazards in the water. It's recommended to surf with a partner and to always wear proper safety gear, including a leash and a life vest.

Yes, beginners can surf in Taiwan, but it's important to choose the right surf spot and to take lessons from experienced instructors. Some surf schools and clubs offer beginner-friendly waves and equipment rentals for those who are just starting out.

The surfing community in Taiwan is growing, with a mix of locals and expats who share a passion for the sport. There are regular surf competitions and events throughout the year, and surfers often gather at popular breaks to catch waves and socialize.
