Hazards

Shallow flat water with potential rocks and debris near shoreStrong tidal currents and occasional sudden wind shifts from monsoon transitionsFishing nets and local boat traffic in the bay areaLimited visibility during high tide with murky bay water

Launch notes

The flat water bay with sandy beach provides excellent launch conditions for beginners. NNE and WSW winds are most reliable; avoid launch during SE winds when onshore chop develops.

Gear & clothing

Gear · Pack 14-17m kites for the light average winds (10.6 kts); a twin-tip board is ideal for flat water progression. Have a smaller 12m kite available for stronger monsoon season days.

Clothing · A lightweight 2-3mm wetsuit suffices for warm tropical water year-round; use rash guards and sun protection during peak sun hours. Bootees protect feet from sharp coral and rocks in shallow areas.

Crowd & etiquette

Share the water respectfully with fishing boats and local activity; stay in designated kite zones to avoid conflicts. Always check with locals about seasonal fishing schedules and restricted areas.

Additional notes

November-December offers the most consistent and strongest winds; April is lighter but still viable. Book accommodation in advance during peak season and always check local weather forecasts for monsoon transitions.
