When to Go
Aside from typhoon season, which runs from May until October, we get lots of sunny days with wind. The rain here comes in torrents, and coupled with the steep high mountains in Taiwan, the runoff after a storm leaves lots of tree limbs, logs and other debris floating along the shores that eventually washes up on our beaches. The water is warm here, but the wind gets cold in December, so you'll need a light wetsuit until about March.
What to Expect
Summer months has south winds, and with that we get murky, dark bluish, green water. Winter months we get north winds, and with that we get clean, blue, beautiful water.
