Big Wave Bay HK surf guide

Big Wave Bay HK is a popular surfing spot located on the southeastern coast of Hong Kong. It draws in a mix of surfers and swimmers, thanks to its lifeguard patrols and shark nets. On busy days, you might find around 100 surfers hitting the waves. The setting here is scenic, with a relaxed vibe, making it a decent place to chill out after or before your session.

The surf at Big Wave Bay works best with swells from the NorthEast, but waves can also break with swells coming from the North and East. The spot can handle swell sizes from about 1 ft (0.3 m) up to 6 ft (2 m), but be cautious with bigger swells as they might close out the bay. You can catch left and right breaks, mostly over sand, which is nice for those who prefer a beach setup. If you want the best conditions, aim for low to mid to high tide with winds coming from the West.

While you’re there, keep in mind that the surfing scene can get a bit crowded, so be ready to share the waves. It's a good idea to stay aware of the conditions and the other surfers in the water, as the crowd can sometimes be a bit much. Overall, if you're looking to catch some waves, Big Wave Bay has the potential to offer a decent session.
