About This Spot
Ngwe Saung is located on Myanmar's southwestern coast facing south into the Andaman Sea. The spot features a sheltered bay configuration with a sandy beach backed by dense residential and resort development. The northern section shows deeper water with scattered rocky outcrops, while the southern area transitions to shallow tidal flats. With average wind of only 5.0 knots and 1.6% reliability, this location experiences minimal and inconsistent wind conditions. Best riding occurs with easterly winds providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. The shallow bay environment and residential density make this primarily suitable for beginners seeking protected, light-wind conditions. Water temperature averages 27.7°C year-round. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas, rock hazards in the northern bay section, and limited space due to coastal development. The spot's low energy and wind unreliability make it challenging for consistent practice outside monsoon periods.
