Shenhu Bay

Shenhu Bay is a protected bay on China's southeastern coast facing westward into the Taiwan Strait. The spot features enclosed waters with visible aquaculture operations along the western shoreline, indicating shallow coastal development. The bay's protection from open ocean swells results in minimal wave generation, making this primarily a flat-water wind-sports venue. Small average wave heights (0.68m) confirm limited swell exposure. North winds provide the most reliable side-shore condition for this west-facing bay. With only 15.9% wind reliability and low average wind speeds (8.0 knots), sessions are sporadic and dependent on seasonal patterns. The shallow, choppy water conditions with existing infrastructure suggest this spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking flat-water freestyle practice rather than wave riding. Kiters should exercise caution around the visible structures and understand local conditions change significantly with season. Best conditions occur during winter wind seasons when northerly flows strengthen.
