Chialoshui (Manzhou Coast)

Chialoshui (Manzhou Coast) is an exposed Pacific-facing surf area on the Manzhou side, where conditions can be highly dependent on swell timing and weather. Providers describe the waves as unreliable, but also highlight that on good days the break can produce long, peeling rides suitable for both longboards and shortboards. The spot is associated with a river-mouth character and a rugged shoreline, which contributes to how the peak forms and how the wave sets behave. For swell direction, sources emphasize southeast as a key option, while other spot-level notes also point to swell coming from the East/NE sector as working directions. One provider reports an optimal swell height window around 0.5–2.5 meters and notes that good days can yield rides typically in the ~50–150 meter range, with longer runs possible. During stronger periods (including the typhoon season), the spot can build in size, but paddling out becomes more difficult. On the wind side, the spot is described as primarily sought for its swell rather than for consistent wind conditions. Wind guidance is mixed by provider: one set of data stresses best conditions around May, while another highlights wind direction patterns that can groom or chop the surface depending on whether winds are more westerly or easterly. Wind reliability is not treated as high for consistent progression. Safety-wise, the entry involves round stones/rocks and a rocky bottom, and strong currents may develop during larger swells and around the river mouth—particularly after rain when debris may be present. Booties are strongly recommended due to the stony shoreline, and there are no lifeguard services reported here. Crowds can be higher on weekends and holidays, so plan your session with awareness of other users and follow local surfing etiquette.
