Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Da'an Beach is located on Taiwan's west coast facing the Taiwan Strait, characterized by a sandy beach with extensive shallow sandbars and tidal flats. The spot features a sheltered lagoon area behind the main shoreline, protected by seawalls and groins that manage sediment transport. The visible sediment plumes indicate strong tidal currents and dynamic water movement typical of this coastline. North winds provide optimal side-shore conditions for this west-facing beach. With modest average wave heights of 0.83m and low wind reliability at 31.9%, this spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters during favorable conditions. The shallow nearshore waters and tidal flats create manageable conditions for learning, though transitions between shallow and deeper water require attention. The infrastructure and nearby populated areas suggest moderate boat and fishing activity. Best sessions occur during winter months when northerly winds are more consistent. Kiters should be aware of rapidly changing water depths and tidal influences that affect conditions throughout the day.
