Protected shallow water, typically flat and ideal for learning or freestyle
About This Spot
Phuket Bridge sits within a protected lagoon system on Thailand's west coast, characterized by shallow, enclosed turquoise waters bordered by dense tropical vegetation and residential areas. The lagoon configuration provides natural wind protection but limits wave development. The west-facing coastline and lagoon layout make northerly winds ideal for side-shore conditions. Water temperatures remain warm year-round at approximately 27.7°C. Conditions are generally flat with minimal swell (0.56m average), making this suitable for beginners and light-wind practitioners. Wind reliability is notably low at 0.6%, suggesting inconsistent conditions outside seasonal periods. The spot features sandy beaches along protected bays with shallow launch areas. Kiters should expect variable depths, potential obstacles from moored boats, and crowded conditions near residential zones. The lagoon's enclosed nature means shorter riding distances and early return to shore. Best suited for learning progression in calm, protected waters rather than sustained sessions.
