surfing in Hong-Kong |
| |
If you think Hong Kong teritory is not enough, check the 234 Outlying Islands...the swell can be really good. Usually flat but can get up to 15-16 foot faces. A few secret spots with good solid bali type barrels, if you can find them can still get a few empty waves. Wetsuits for winter. X-mas is almost always good in the NE Monsoon seasons. Summer June-Aug is Typhoon season..huge swells. First timers just goto Big Wave Bay on HK Island and say Hi to a surfer and they will tune you in to the main breaks. Don't drop in unless you are a pro. Best time to surf is sunset or sunrise where crowds not too bad. Best is tide coming in for almost all breaks.
