Yesterday I received an email from Jon, a Ningbo expat who is the expert on surfing in Zhoushan/Zhujiajian Island area, saying that it looks like good surf in Zhujiajian this weekend. We haven't met in person yet, but I really appreciate Jon's surf updates. So if you are in Shanghai and thinking where to go to catch some mellow waves and relax on the beach this weekend, Zhujiajian seems to be a nice option.

Вчера я получила емейл от Джона, экспата из Нинбо, который хорошо знает серфинг в островной зоне Чжоушань/Чжуцзяцзянь. В его письме говорилось, что по прогнозам на этих выходных грядет хороший серф в Чжуцзяцзянь. Мы с ним никогда раньше не встречались лично, но я ему признательна за серф информацию с мест. Так что если вы находитесь в Шанхае и думаете, куда бы податься на выходных, чтобы поймать несколько волн и расслабиться на пляже, то Чжуцзяцзянь может быть отличным вариантом.

Here are some directions and tips on ZJJ-surf from Jon (thanks man):
Несколько советов по ЧЦЦ-серфу от Джона в оригинале (спасибо тебе):

If you want to go to Zhoushan Island, go to Ningbo and then cross the bridge to Zhoushan. Cross Zhoushan to Zhujiajian Island. Then to Dong Sha. The best part is the Northern part of dong sha.
Waves tend to break best with South Easterly winds. Easterly can work too. Google Earth will show you location but my version has not yet included the Zhoushan Bridge.
Alternatively you can fly directly to Zhujiajian from Shanghai.
There are busses from Ningbo Jiangbei Bus terminal which will take you to Shenjia Men, and from there you catch another taxi or bus.
I live next to the exit of the bridge at Zhenhai so it takes me just over one hour to drive there.
You were here last year, september. The swell was messy.

The wetsand surf forecast is a little easier to read... Better colours but both of them tend to predict the same thing. Wetsand tends to forecast swell while magic seaweed seems to actually forecast the surf... Obviously surf is harder to forecast for each particular beach!
The beach breaks best on a rising tide from low tide upwards.
Winds tend to be onshore but every now and then amazing things happen.
Winter surfing is not too bad at all... A full length spring suit (2 or 3mm) is enough as water temps don't dip much below 15deg C by the looks of things.
