Beach and Tide Conditions
Kitesurfing conditions
do not depend on Tide
on this spot.
Golden Beach, Taiwan is a
Chop and Small waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Big size.
The beach is about 4km long and has plenty of sand. It runs next to a highway, which is about 300m away. Depending on the season, the beach can be filled with debris like oyster shells, bamboo, fire rockets, trees, wire, etc. Since it's a very long beach, you can just simply pick the spot that's clean/open. Watch for spikes left in the tidal zone, by fishermen.
The water is choppy and fairly clean. The tide has minimal influence and mostly the waves, that do roll into the bay, are small. Typhoons can cause HAVOCK and the waves can get big.
