- Hey

Used to work in an outdoor ed centre in Sai Kung, used to take groups of kids out camping all over the Sai Kung peninsula all the time. Its fine except for loads of pesky wild dogs, not vicious but a touch hungry. Back in 2001 their was a noodle bar on Tai Long Wan despite its remoteness (may only operate in summer, not sure). Not sure about water if your staying for a while (we used to carry our own).

places to stay near Saikung Big Wave Bay - Hello,

Anybody know of any clean, cheap places to stay w/i reasonable distance from Saikung Big Wave Bay?

I know of some nice looking hostel type places in the Saikung reservoir area, but not sure if accept people off the street. Seeem to be aimed at groups. Also, I don't think any of them are within a reasonable walk from the surf beaches. Are the Big Wave Bay village bungalos of reasonable standard? How about camping on the beach? It seems this website warned against bandits in the area.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

info - hey all
to everyone asking about temp, size etc, here you go:

size: the surf isnt HUGE, so dont get your hopes up- if you're from hawaii or cali, it wont be amazing(unless you get lucky!), but hk isnt a world calss surf spot, so dont expect world class waves!! there will definately be something rideble though. expect a solid 3ft (hawaii measure), more if you're lucky. it gets doubleoverhead only about 5 days a year, but complaining won get anyone anywhere- im glad we have anything.

temp: it doesn get REALLY cold here, even in the winter months - nothing compared to nor-cal or even so-cal, but a wetsuit is still needed for the coleder months - i'd say in dec/jan you'd be looking at about 10-15C at its coldest, its about 20 now, and people have already broken out the springys! wetsuite are still specialist hrere, so if you can buy them abroad i suggest you do.

cheers

How good does it get at Sai King and which month/s? - Always in search of good fast waves would appreciate if someone could send an update on the surf in HKG. Will be visiting end of Oct and heading out to Sai Kung will the waves be pumping by then?? How big do they get? In exchange for precious info will share updated news on the Oz surf scene. By the way folks, surf was pretty good last week but absolutely hopeless today!
