About This Spot
7-Chann Beach is located in a protected bay on Cambodia's southern coast facing northwest into the Gulf of Thailand. The spot is characterized by shallow, flat water enclosed by residential development and natural rocky headlands. This is a lagoon-style bay environment with limited exposure to ocean swell and wind. The extremely low wind reliability (0.2%) and minimal average wind speed (3.9 knots) make this location marginal for kitesurfing at best. The flat water conditions (0.39m average) indicate this spot functions primarily as a leisure beach rather than a kitesurfing destination. Visible boat traffic, pier structures, and shallow bathymetry add navigational hazards. Best wind would arrive from the northeast (45°) as side-shore, though such conditions are exceptionally rare. This spot suits only advanced kiters seeking extremely light-wind sessions and is generally unsuitable for regular kitesurfing progression. The location works better for swimming and beach activities than board sports.
