About This Spot
Jason Bay is a sheltered coastal bay in Peninsular Malaysia facing northeast toward the South China Sea. The spot features a protected shoreline with mangrove forests and agricultural areas backing the beach, creating a lagoon-like environment with minimal wave exposure. Water conditions are characterized by light swell and very small average wave heights, suitable only for flat-water practice. The bay's orientation and shallow waters make it ideal for beginners learning body drags and basic board control. Wind reliability is extremely poor at 0.0%, with average winds only 3.7 knots—well below the minimum needed for sustained kitesurfing. Water temperatures average 27.6°C year-round. Side-shore winds from the northwest (315°) would be optimal when wind is available. The shallow, protected nature and dense vegetation limit this spot to beginner progression and training rather than performance riding. Kiters should be prepared for extended periods with insufficient wind.
