Bang Saphan

Bang Saphan is located at a river delta on Thailand's Gulf of Thailand coast, where a significant river system meets the sea. The spot features shallow, flat water typical of delta environments with minimal wave generation. The coastline orientation faces northeast, making the ideal side-shore wind direction northwest. The delta's protected nature and shallow depth make this a beginner-friendly spot with manageable conditions, though wind reliability remains low at 0.8%. The surrounding mangrove areas and river channels present navigation considerations. Water temperatures average 27.6°C year-round. The main limitation is the extremely small average wave size (0.42m), meaning this spot is best suited for flat-water freestyle and light-wind practice rather than wave riding. Kiters should be aware of tidal movements affecting the river outlet and potential current variations. This location works best for beginners seeking protected, shallow-water conditions to develop skills without significant wave or wind intensity.
