Surf: In the New Territories, known as Sai Kung province, the 3rd Big Wave Beach is Tai Long Wan SK has the biggest, most consistent and best shaped waves around. Consisting of 4 beaches facing NE to SE in a giant horseshoe bay, the long, white sands of Fung Bay and Sai Wan are probably the best, catching any swell on offer, while Ham Tin offers a little protection at the north end. Can get big, hollow and rippy, so not for beginners when a strong NE or typhoon swell hits. In winter, there is plenty of swell in the 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) range and the sandbars shift around less. It is not uncommon for waves to break 4’-6’ (1.2-2m) for a week. The best tide is mid to high and there are a couple of small-scale rivermouth setups, but the ride is short and the waves are usually no bigger than 3ft (1m). During a big swell, a classic little 3' left shorebreak can be ridden right in front of the store at Ham Tin. Environment: Most surfers camp overnight, since it is 2hrs from the city, eating at Hoi Fung store, nestling among trees on the beach.
