Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Zhunan is a beach break located on Taiwan's western coast facing the Taiwan Strait. The spot features a long sandy beach with extensive tidal mudflats that are exposed at low tide, creating a shallow water environment. The geography shows dense vegetation inland with agricultural land, indicating a protected coastal area with variable wind patterns. Water conditions are rough with moderate wave heights averaging 1.18m. Wind reliability is relatively low at 34.5%, with average winds of 10.2 knots suggesting this is primarily a seasonal spot. The shallow mudflat areas and tidal influence make this suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking manageable conditions. Side-shore wind from the north provides the most workable orientation. Key considerations include timing around tidal cycles, as mudflats can significantly restrict riding area and launch zones at low tide. The proximity of agricultural infrastructure means riders should expect limited facilities and should check local access conditions before visiting.
