Longmen Beach

Longmen Beach is located on Taiwan's western coast, facing a shallow bay with low wave energy and silty, choppy water conditions. The spot sits within a protected coastal area with agricultural land, forest patches, and developed zones adjacent to the shore. The water appears to be a shallow, tidal bay environment with visible silt deposits characteristic of Taiwan's western coastal region. With an average wind speed of 14.4 knots and moderate reliability of 51.2%, conditions are consistent but not strong. The best wind direction for side-shore kitesurfing is from the northwest (315°), allowing kiters to work parallel to the coast. Wave heights average just 1.02m, making this location better suited for light-wind freestyle and progression rather than wave riding. The shallow water and choppy conditions are manageable for beginners and intermediate kiters practicing in protected conditions. Key considerations include watching for tidal changes that may expose mudflats, respecting the shallow water depth, and being aware of low wind windows that limit session predictability.
