About This Spot
Jiupeng Harbor is a bay-facing west into the Taiwan Strait, characterized by a gently sloping sandy beach backed by dense forest. The spot features a wide beach area with shallow water zones and scattered rocks along the shoreline. The protected bay setting provides moderate wave conditions averaging 1.73m with rough water texture. Wind reliability is relatively low at 20.8%, with average winds of 8.6 knots requiring ideal conditions for consistent sessions. Northerly winds (0°) provide optimal side-shore conditions across the bay mouth. The spot suits intermediate kiters seeking a less crowded alternative to busier Taiwan locations, though consistent wind cannot be guaranteed. The shallow bay bottom requires awareness of water depth changes and potential sandbars. Access is available via the coastal road visible in imagery. Local knowledge of seasonal wind patterns and tide conditions is recommended before visiting.
