Pengpeng Beach

Pengpeng Beach is located on Taiwan's west coast facing westward into the Taiwan Strait. The spot is situated within a shallow bay characterized by protected waters and variable bottom conditions, evidenced by the murky water and visible sandbars in satellite imagery. The shallow bay provides a contained kitesurfing environment with moderate wave exposure from prevailing winds. Wind reliability at 51.2% suggests inconsistent conditions requiring flexible scheduling. The prevailing winds from the north or south create suitable side-shore conditions. Water temperature averaging 23.7°C is comfortable year-round for Taiwan. Wave heights average 1.16m with rough water conditions indicating chop and texture rather than organized swell. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with variable conditions and shallow water navigation. Visibility is limited due to water color and sediment, requiring familiarity with local bottom conditions. Tidal ranges on Taiwan's west coast significantly affect water depth and current patterns, making timing crucial. The shallow nature demands awareness of water depth changes throughout the session and tide cycle.
