About This Spot
Laem Talumphuk is a coastal lagoon spot on Thailand's Andaman coast facing west toward the Andaman Sea. The site features shallow, protected waters separated from open ocean by a sandy beach barrier. Agricultural lands and wetlands border the lagoon, creating a sheltered but wind-limited environment. The extremely low wind reliability (0.1%) and minimal average wave height (0.29m) make this spot unsuitable for regular kitesurfing sessions. Best conditions would occur during rare strong northerly wind events that could provide marginal side-shore winds. The lagoon's shallow nature and surrounding obstacles make it better suited for light-wind watersports like windsurfing or paddling rather than kitesurfing. Water conditions are typically flat and calm. This spot would appeal only to kiters seeking extremely protected practice areas during specific seasonal wind events, not as a primary session location. The low wind statistics suggest this location experiences consistent calm or offshore-directed breezes throughout the year.
