General Description
Shilaoren is a surf spot located in Qingdao city. It's a South-East oriented sandy beach. We can surf there all year long, but the most appropriate period is May to November, with typhoons in August and September. Typhoon swell can be powerful, but most of sessions are 80 cm to 1,50 m waves. Mid tide and low tide are the best moment for opening right and left peaks. Best swell orientation is South, South-East or East. Wind is often off or side off shore. Water temperature in winter is about 5 C, and in summer about 24 C.
