Jialeshuei

Kenting, Taiwan

🌀Strong rips

Jialeshuei is Taiwan's most consistent surf spot—a south-facing beach break in the Kenting National Park area that catches virtually every swell direction. The setup produces fun, punchy peaks year-round, with typhoon season (autumn) bringing the best conditions. Taiwan's surf scene is small but passionate, and Jialeshuei is its spiritual home. The backdrop is stunning—tropical forests meeting volcanic rock formations. Asian surfing's best-kept secret.
