Songjeong Beach

Most famous surf spot in Busan city.

Songjeong Beach offers a beach break with both right- and left-hand waves, breaking over a sandy bottom. The wave quality is rated a 3 out of 5, making it a suitable destination for beginner surfers. Conditions are generally safe, with no notable hazards, although the beach can become crowded, particularly during peak times.

The waves at Songjeong are primarily wind swells, resulting in shorter wave periods—typically with a swell interval of less than 10 seconds. This often leads to choppier conditions compared to groundswell-dominated locations.

Seasonal variations significantly affect the surf. During the summer months, wave heights are generally smaller, making the beach ideal for longboard surfing. In contrast, winter brings more powerful swells from the north, leading to larger and more consistent waves better suited to more confident beginners looking to progress.
