Sand Stripe Dragon Head

Sand Stripe Dragon Head is a sheltered bay on Taiwan's western coast, characterized by a distinctive headland forming a natural sand spit system. The spot comprises both a protected lagoon area with shallow sandy bottoms and access to slightly deeper bay waters. The lagoon's shallow nature and sand formations provide scenic kitesurfing terrain but limit wave development. The bay faces west toward open water, making northern and southern winds side-shore appropriate. Wind reliability is moderate at 51.2%, with average winds of 14.4 knots providing marginal but workable conditions. Wave heights average 1.16m, indicating predominantly flat water suitable for freestyle and trick practice rather than wave riding. The spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with light wind conditions and shallow water navigation. Key considerations include monitoring shallow sandbars, navigating around the rocky headland features, and timing sessions during more consistent wind windows. The rough water classification suggests occasional chop despite modest wave heights.
