Jialeshui is one of the premier surfing spots in Taiwan, and very consistent. There are two breaks:
The main break is a river mouth which offers very consistent shapely rights. Some lefts can also be had. The surf can be very good even on small days, as there is usually an offshore wind coming through the valley and over the river. On smaller days, Jialeshui is a longboarder’s dream. On bigger days, barrels are readily available for shortboarders.
The second break is a left that peels down from the headland. It is also very consistent, good for beginners on small days and great for more experienced surfers on bigger days. On bigger days, the current can suck you out very fast, so beware.
Aside from being a great surf spot, Jialeshui is also one of the most picturesque places in Taiwan, with some of its most hospitable surf shops and surfers. No matter the waves are big or small, you can’t go wrong here.
