Dadaepo Beach

Dadaepo Beach is located in a sheltered bay system on the southern coast of South Korea near Busan. The spot features a sandy beach protected by a rocky peninsula to the south and enclosed lagoon waters to the east. The main beach break faces southwest into the bay, with relatively enclosed water conditions compared to open ocean exposure. Water conditions are generally choppy with modest wave heights averaging 0.54m, making this suitable for learning and progression rather than wave hunting. The low average wind speed (11.7 knots) and moderate reliability (41.7%) suggest this spot works best during seasonal wind events. Northeasterly winds (approximately 45°) would provide ideal side-shore conditions along the beach. The protected bay setting and sandy bottom make this accessible for beginner to intermediate kiters, though the confined geography and nearby industrial port require awareness of traffic patterns and space constraints. Best sessions occur during consistent wind periods rather than as a daily resource.
