Shihli (Magong City)

Shihli Beach (Magong City) is a medium-sized sandy beach on the southwest side of the Fongguei Peninsula, with clean water and chop as the typical water feel. Launch is generally described as easy, with ample space to rig and launch, and a sandy bottom that supports a variety of kite and foiling sessions. For wind sports, the most consistent window is summer (June, July, and August), when winds are typically WSW/WSW-SW oriented. Reported conditions point to thermal sea-breeze behavior with an afternoon peak (roughly 13:00 to 17:00). Typical reported wind strengths for the season fall in the 12–20 knot range, with light gustiness. Kitesurfing is the primary target: freeride and freestyle are commonly associated with the summer side-onshore winds, and foil riding is described as part of the usable mix. Recommendations in the provided data suggest 10–14 m² kites for typical summer afternoons, aligning with a beginner-friendly framing. Windsurfing and wingfoiling are also reported as viable in summer—wingfoiling is noted as particularly good once you are a bit farther from shore due to increasing depth. Surfing is described as a gentle beach break on a sandy setup, often working with southern swells (S/SW) for small, soft, mushy waves. Wave sessions are described as short, and southwest winds can add chop, which can reduce wave cleanliness. For safety, avoid designated swimming zones during peak times, and watch for seasonal buoys and fishing nets; winter offshore N-NE winds are described as potentially dangerous, so local checks are important when riding outside the summer window.
