First, you have to come in China... land at Qindao airport (40km North) and get at Qindao city (also written Qingdao). Driving by yourself is NOT allowed in China for non-chinese : you have to get a driver.
This is a big, modern city : check the hotels as you'd do anywhere else in the world. As far as the surf spot is concerned, it is located INTO Surf Plaza hotel (316 Hong Kong East road).
Because, yes, this is a private beach.
This is also the city where they make the infamous Tsing Tao beer.

Additional Information
Since this is a private beach in city center, you just have to rent a room at Surf Plaza hotel... or find out how to screw the staff ! This is a pretty expensive hotel and their web site (surfplaza@slh.com) states "slh" for Small Luxury Hotels... see what i mean ?
If you intend to get there without being at the hotel, make sure to get a low attitude : just be invisible.

Atmosphere
Qindao city is in the Yellow Sea, which makes it a nice place to find surf elsewhere than in private hundred-$-a-night hotels. Surf is all year round with a peak from june to november (Typhoons season).
Get on the seaside, meet the local citizens or (better) get off town and meet local coasters : they'll tell you where if you show them a surf magazine.

General
The spot is a small surf ease for the businessman resting at this Surf Plaza hotel, even if it can get in the 2 meters range on typhoon season.
Over population is not to be expected in the water, even if China is over populated in itself : this is private access, thanks !
If you meet (the few)local surfers, be open and make sure they show you the best spots !
Also... as we all know, Chinese government is not renowed for its openess : accept to be told 'No doing this -or that is forbidden' and accept those hidden microphones in your room, car and bathroom (yes !) and NEVER talk politics. Against chinese police or undercover political officers you weight absolutely nothing.
