Big tides, muddy water, flat water on the leeward side, choppy on the windward side. Some flat water, if you are a strong intermediate you can come in close to the rocks to get access to flat water. Summer brings a little swell, never big except for typhoons. Small, enough for 5 kites. Two beaches, one small with lots of rubbish, good for advanced launches. The second is big thin beach for intermediates. Not too many rocks (for HK). Best wind magnet in HK. That's why it is next to the airport. It consistently comes from only two directions. Stronger NE in winter (October to March) or lighter SW in summer (April to September) with around 12-18 knots. Most consistent winds in HK, works in all directions. Best conditions is winter N-NE-E-SE, around 15-20 knots. Not much need for wetsuits, only in November to February when it is cold. Water: Flat, Chop, Smallwave. Features: Rescue. Rider ability: Intermediate, Expert.
