Nanwan

Nanwan is an S-facing beach break in Hengchun, Pingtung, Taiwan. It picks up swell from ESE to SE and SE and S to W, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 46% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
