88 surf guide

Surf Spot 88 is located in the Zhelang area, near Hong Hoi Wan. This spot is known for its unique setup, featuring a series of jetties that help shape the waves. It's not as popular as some other spots, so if you're looking for a place with fewer crowds, this could be a good option. Just remember that while it can be a fun spot, it’s not always going to be world-class.

When it comes to surfing, 88 works best with a northeast swell direction and can handle swell sizes starting at around 1 ft (0.3 meters). The waves tend to break over sand, creating some nice shapes, especially with a left-breaking wave off the northern jetty. The jetties have created some solid sand banks, which can result in fun A-Frame waves when the conditions line up. For the best chance of good waves, check it out with west winds and any tide—low, mid, or high works here. This spot is more suited for intermediate surfers, so if you’ve got some experience, you’ll likely have a good time.

Overall, the area provides a decent consistency for surf sessions, especially during the right conditions. Since it's sheltered from northeast winds, mornings are typically offshore, making it a good time to get in the water. Keep in mind that while it can offer some quality rides, conditions can vary, so it’s smart to check the forecast before heading out.
