Partially sheltered coastline with moderate, varied conditions
Guoye Sunrise is located on Taiwan's western coast facing east into a sheltered bay configuration. The spot features a relatively protected water body with gradual depth transitions and visible coastal infrastructure including breakwaters. Water conditions are characteristically choppy rather than organized, typical of enclosed bay environments with limited fetch. Wind conditions are marginal with average speeds of 14.4 knots and moderate reliability at 51.2%, suggesting inconsistent conditions that require patience. Wave heights average just over 1 meter, suitable for learning but limiting for progression. Best wind direction is northerly (0°), providing side-shore conditions relative to the east-facing coastline. The muddy bottom and shallow initiating areas make this appropriate for beginner riders developing board control and body awareness. Water temperatures average 23.7°C, requiring minimal thermal protection. This spot suits learners prioritizing safety and flat-water practice over wave riding. Kiters should verify local regulations regarding the breakwater structures and check wind forecasts carefully given the low reliability rating.
