About Wu-shi harbor
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces SE (116°), so it takes swell from the SE. The wind blows offshore from the NW (296°). It is sheltered to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–11 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves gently: 10 m deep about 550 m out (1 in 56). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 22°C in January, its coldest month (2 mm shorty), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually February, March, April and May, with about 2 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Taipei. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.
Water about 25°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
