Fulong Beach

Fulong Beach is located on Taiwan's northeastern coast where a river system meets the Pacific Ocean, creating a beach break environment with distinctive sediment patterns. The spot features a long sandy beach with a river mouth on the western side, which moderates wave energy and provides some protection from larger swells. The shallow lagoon area created by river discharge makes this location suitable for beginners, though water conditions can be affected by sediment loads and tidal flows. Best conditions occur with northwesterly winds (315°) that provide side-shore conditions parallel to the beach orientation. The spot experiences relatively modest wave heights (averaging 1.35m) and moderate wind consistency. Kiters should be aware that the river mouth creates complex currents and varying water depth, requiring caution during water entry and exit. Wind reliability is low at 6.3%, making this more suitable for experienced local kiters who understand seasonal patterns. Water temperature averages 23.4°C, comfortable for extended sessions. This spot works best for beginners to early intermediate riders seeking protected, small-wave conditions rather than experienced kiters seeking challenging wave riding.
