Hualien Coast

Hualien Coast is an E-facing beach break in Hualien, Taiwan. It picks up swell from NNE to NE and NE and E to S, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 38% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the W: light winds or W breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while E onshores chop it up.
