Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Guan Yin Ting is located on Taiwan's west coast in a protected bay facing west toward the Taiwan Strait. The spot features a shallow bay environment with defined coastline backed by dense urban and industrial development. The coastline orientation facing west makes northerly winds ideal for side-shore conditions, enabling safe lateral movement along the coast. Water conditions show moderate choppy seas typical of shallow bays, with average waves around 1.3m. The area contains visible breakwaters, rocky sections, and harbor infrastructure that limit safe riding zones. Wind reliability at 52% indicates variable seasonal patterns. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable navigating confined spaces with scattered obstacles. The shallow, rough water conditions require awareness of depth changes and potential for choppy, unpredictable chop. Limited beach and landing areas mean careful entry and exit planning is essential. Best conditions align with northerly wind patterns during higher wind reliability periods.
