About Dashi - Honeymoon Bay
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (124°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (304°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up, because of a steep sea floor. It works in 4–14 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very steeply: 10 m deep about 50 m out (1 in 7). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would break hollow. The sea is about 22°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Taipei. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot.
Water about 25°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
