About This Spot
Wu Ji Jou is a beach break located on the eastern coast of Hainan Island, China, facing east toward the South China Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with relatively gentle water conditions and low wave energy (0.57m average). The coastline is backed by tropical vegetation and developed areas, with a river system visible to the north. The spot offers a protected setting suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking light wind conditions. However, the extremely low wind reliability (0.4%) and minimal average wind speed (4.2 knots) make this location challenging for consistent sessions. The shallow water near shore and proximity to vegetation require careful launching and landing. The protected beach environment provides good visibility and relatively safe conditions, though the limited fetch distance constrains wave development. Best conditions occur with northerly winds to maintain side-shore approach. This spot is most suitable for light-wind specialists or as a training location during occasional favorable wind windows.
