Bashien Dong is a surf spot located in Taiwan that attracts surfers looking for decent waves. It's known for its long, boulder pointbreak and is situated near Eight Fairy Cave. This area can be appealing, especially for surfers who prefer a less crowded spot, but it’s important to know that it might not always deliver the best conditions. While it’s not the top surf destination, it still has its moments.

The waves at Bashien Dong usually come from the Northeast, making the spot work best with NE swells ranging in size from around 2 feet (0.6 meters) and up. The pointbreak offers walling lefts, which are best suited for intermediate surfers. The northwest winds are favorable, and the waves can be softer on the outside before transitioning into some short, punchy sections closer to the rocky inside. Surfers should check the tide, as the spot can produce decent waves during low, mid, and high tide. Just keep in mind that the break is over boulders, so be mindful of that when paddling out.

Besides the waves, the rivermouth to the north can create strong rips and occasionally some right-handers, which might entice surfers looking for a bit of variety. Make sure to stay alert, as conditions can change quickly. Bashien Dong is definitely a spot to check out if you're in the area, as long as you know what to expect.
