Hazards

Shallow flat water with potential rocks and debris near shoreStrong tidal currents in the Chumpon area affecting drift and navigationLimited visibility during monsoon transitions with variable wind strengthFishing nets and local boat traffic in the bay area

Launch from the beach on flat water with northeasterly winds being most consistent. Watch for shallow areas near shore and ensure clean water entry from the beach.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Pack a 15-17m kite for the light average winds (10.2 kts) with a freestyle or all-around board suited to flat water conditions. A backup larger kite (19m+) is useful for lighter wind days.

Clothing · Wear a 2-3mm wetsuit during the cooler December season; switch to a thinner suit or rash guard during warmer months. Water temperature ranges from 25-28°C year-round.

Crowd & etiquette

Respect fishing operations and local boat traffic common in this bay. Keep sessions away from anchored vessels and stay alert to other water users.

Additional notes

December offers the most reliable wind window with 53 windy days annually concentrated then. Arrive early to scout conditions and check local tide schedules, as the shallow bay is highly tide-dependent.
