If you are an expert rider, go to Maui, I am sure there are greatest waves in the world.

If you are new to wave-riding, my home spot is very friendly to beginner. Here is a picture of my wave riding last week.

Wind is very good here from Oct. to April, usually 25 -40 knot. It's side-on shore wind, you always get back on shore.

The best month is Oct.- Dec.

If you like to find out more, check my website.

Penghu is famous for its nuclear wind.
Water temperature is 25C from Oct. -Dec. 20C Jan-Mar.
Sometimes lower if very strong cold weather stay for a while.

My daughter started to kitesurf last May, she can ride the same wave with me now.

so you're from texas so I assume that means you don't view south padre island gulf as clean waves.

Nearest places are Barbados winter to early summer and Maui in the Fall - I think spring works there too but I only go in fall.
