About Fulong Beach
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces NE (34°), so it takes swell from the NE. The wind blows offshore from the SW (214°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 2–9 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 250 m out (1 in 24). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would crumble. 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.
Water about 25°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
