Haomeiliao beach

Haomeiliao beach is located on Taiwan's western coast in a shallow lagoon system separated from the open ocean by a sandy barrier beach. The spot features extensive aquaculture ponds inland with a sandy beach access point. The coastline faces west toward the Taiwan Strait, making north or south winds ideal for side-shore conditions. Water conditions are characterized by rough chop typical of shallow lagoons with limited fetch. The 0.91m average wave height and low wind reliability (20.5%) suggest this is primarily a light-wind spot suited for beginners and intermediates. The lagoon setting provides protected conditions compared to open ocean spots, though the shallow depth and pond infrastructure limit riding space. Best conditions occur during stronger wind periods in winter months. Kiters should account for tidal influences affecting water depth and current strength. The spot suits riders seeking protected lagoon conditions with lower skill requirements, though wind consistency remains a significant limitation.
