Baihe Bay is generally safe for swimming and surfing, particularly during calm weather conditions. The bay is known for suitable surf conditions that attract both beginners and intermediate surfers. However, always check daily weather forecasts and wave conditions before entering the water. Strong currents can develop during certain tidal conditions or storms. Beginners should consider taking lessons from local surf schools that understand the bay's conditions. Swim only in designated areas, respect warning flags, and avoid surfing alone, especially if you're unfamiliar with the location.

For surfing enthusiasts, the best waves at Baihe Bay typically occur during autumn and winter months when swells are more consistent. However, summer also offers suitable conditions for beginners with generally smaller, more manageable waves. Budget travelers may find better deals during shoulder seasons (spring and late autumn) when accommodation rates drop but weather remains pleasant. Weekdays tend to be less crowded than weekends. Check surf forecasts before your visit, as wave conditions vary. Early mornings generally provide cleaner waves before afternoon winds pick up.
