Cha-am is a coastal beach break located on Thailand's Gulf of Thailand coastline, facing east toward the water. The shoreline is characterized by a narrow sandy beach backed by dense mixed development including industrial facilities, warehouses, and port infrastructure. The spot experiences extremely consistent conditions year-round with minimal wind and wave activity. Average wind speeds of 4.8 knots and negligible wave heights (0.22m) make this location suitable only for flat-water practice and beginner progression. The area has very low wind reliability at 0.2%, indicating calm conditions dominate most days. Significant industrial development creates potential hazards including boat traffic, occasional debris, and limited clean water zones. The shallow, protected nature of this beach break makes it ideal for absolute beginners learning body dragging and basic control in controlled conditions. However, kiters seeking dynamic wind and wave conditions should look elsewhere. Best conditions occur with northerly winds, though such winds are rare. Water temperature of 27.9°C provides year-round comfort. This spot is best suited for progression work in extremely light wind conditions.
