Hazards

Fishing nets and local fishing activity, particularly during peak seasonShallow sandbars and uneven bottom that can create sudden depth changesStrong currents during monsoon transitions (May-June)Occasional sea grass and seaweed accumulation

Launch notes

The flat water and sandy beach make Morjim ideal for beginners; launch from the southern section where wind funnels onshore from WNW to W directions. Avoid launching near active fishing zones marked by nets.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Use 14-17m kites given the 9.4kt average wind; a beginner-friendly directional or hybrid board works well in the flat water conditions. Consider slightly larger kites for lighter wind days common outside peak season.

Clothing · A 2-3mm shorty or light rash guard is sufficient year-round; water temperature ranges 26-29°C, so minimal thermal protection needed unless visiting cooler months (Feb-Mar).

Crowd & etiquette

Respect local fishermen and their nets by staying in designated kitesurfing areas; yield to any traditional boats and maintain awareness of village beach use during early mornings and evenings.

Additional notes

Morjim's windy season is limited to 24 days/year, so plan visits during March-June when conditions are most reliable; check local weather forecasts as wind can be inconsistent outside peak months.
