Nanwan surf guide
Surf: Facing SE, Nanwan is the main beach for Hengchun, where a shapely right reefbreak with nice curves and a sculpted face, peels off on low-mid tide and S-SW swells. If the sand mix is just right, the waves speed up and barrels are a given when itβs bigger, which should help clear the water of burgeoning learner crowds and general watercraft mayhem. Fortunately, there are other waves in the bay including shallow rights and lefts at Houbihu Harbour or long, hollow rights further out at Houbihu Point. Recipe is a solid typhoon swell from the S, W-NW wind and skill to avoid the hungry coral reef. More beachbreak is scattered to the east along the resort beaches of Kenting out to Banana Bay if a S swell is running.
Environment: The nuclear plant discharges cooling water into the bay!
