LOCATION
Xiamen
is fast developing as one of China’s key kiteboarding locations, with a
strong local kiteboarding
scene emerging. As you can see pictured above the location has large
wide sandy beaches, with very few
fixed obstacles or hidden nasties under the water.
The gentle sloping beach gives a flat-ish water to ride, without much
in the way of shore break when the
winds get stronger.
The competition beach area sits between the airport and Xiamen, so not
too far from anything. It is also
a developing area for international tourism and leisure, with a large
new marina complex, new hotels,
restraints and other facilities to close by.
WIND - WEATHER - WATER
The winds during October in Xiamen come from the northeast monsoon.
Wind speed averaging around
20kts for October, cross onshore for the competition beach location.
Temperatures for October range from 20 – 28 degrees
Celsius, with a low percentage of rain fall if any.
The water temperature will be in the range of 20-22 degrees Celsius.
