Funingwan Surf Guide

Funingwan in Fujian is a reasonably exposed beach break that has inconsistent surf with no particular seasonal pattern. Works best in offshore winds from the west with some shelter here from north winds. The short fetch makes for windswells rather than groundswells and the ideal wave direction is from the east southeast. The beach break offers both left and right hand waves. Even when the surf is up, crowds are unknown. The water quality here is rather suspect.
