South of Wushi Harbor (South), and across from Xie Tian Temple, is a beach break that has a breakwater to the left side. There are small- to mid-sized rocks near the shore on the right side of the beach. NE monsoon winds create a quality wave in winter, when the breakwater kicks up a long clean left that Chou Shui is most famous for. To the right are some good waves, but they do get soft and tend to lose power moving into the middle of the break.
It’s easy to get out to the lineup, as you can sit behind the breakwater, then at the right time paddle around the rocks to get outside. When coming in, it’s recommended you stay to the left, as there are many rocks near the shore. Chou Shui suits both shortboards and longboards, and due to the lower energy of the wave, it is also suitable for beginners to practice on. With the temple nearby, make sure you park suitably to avoid getting in the way of temple activities, and please remember to respect the right of way of local residents.
