Surfing in Hualien, Taiwan

Hualien's 5 spots face the open Pacific, with a mix of reef, river-mouth, and beach breaks that make for more varied conditions than the west coast. Beibin and Jiqi are the friendlier ones for beginners; the reef spots need more care since they hurt more than sand when you fall. Each spot below has today's score, so look before you go.
