Southeast Korea has three main wind directions - SW (usually spring through fall, but very light in the summer); NE (usually spring and fall); NW (usually winter). This beach works best with NE winds which are very common in the spring and fall (especially the months of May and October). Winds of 8 to 20 knots. Bring medium/big kites - 14m to 20m. Further north on the beach closer to the island NE will be sideshore.
