About Fengxian Mudhole

The water is high in sediment, visibility 10cm, pollution is there but acceptable. Never got really sick despite swallowing a lot. At high tide you have a 5 square km playground with chest deep water, at low tide you have to walk out a 1km or so, but then you find a channel with perfectly flat water. Generally you have quite a swell, some half to one meter waves. No surfing at all, kind of choppy also since the water is not really flat. Little waves with East winds.
