Fulong Beach (福隆海水浴場) is one of Taiwan’s most popular and accessible surf spots, located on the island’s northeast coast in New Taipei City. It’s known for its long sandy beach, scenic mountains, and consistent exposure to seasonal northeast swells.

Surf conditions

  • Best season: Typically fall through winter (roughly September to March) when northeast monsoon swells are more reliable.
  • Wave type: Usually a beach break, which can create fun, shifting peaks.
  • Wave quality: Can be good for beginners to intermediate surfers, though conditions vary and can get punchy on bigger swell days.
  • Wind: Often affected by onshore winds, so early mornings are usually cleaner.

Why surfers like it

  • Easy access: It’s one of the easiest surf spots to reach from Taipei.
  • Long sandy shoreline: More forgiving than reef or rocky breaks.
  • Beginner-friendly options: Smaller days can be ideal for learning.
  • Scenic setting: The beach is backed by green hills and has a relaxed coastal vibe.

Things to watch out for

  • Crowds: It can get busy, especially on weekends and during good swell periods.
  • Changing sandbanks: As a beach break, the waves can shift frequently.
  • Seasonal weather: Typhoons and strong monsoon conditions can make the surf dangerous.

Best for

  • Beginners in smaller conditions
  • Intermediate surfers looking for fun beach-break waves
