About This Spot
Tung Wua Laen Beach is located on Thailand's eastern seaboard along the Gulf of Thailand, featuring a long sandy beach with gradual shallow water transition. The coastline faces east toward open water, with developed residential areas and agricultural land immediately inland. The spot is characterized by consistently flat water and very light wind conditions year-round, making it unsuitable for regular kitesurfing despite its sandy beach setup. The 0.1% wind reliability indicates this location rarely experiences sufficient wind strength for the sport. When wind does occur, northerly or southerly directions would provide side-shore conditions. The extremely shallow water and flat conditions make this location more suitable for beginner-level water activities like swimming or paddling rather than kitesurfing. Kiters seeking this region should consider alternative spots with better wind exposure and reliability, or visit during rare strong wind events. The area's protected geography and inland development contribute to persistently light wind conditions.
Hazards & Safety
Very low wind reliability (0.1%) makes consistent kitesurfing difficult
Extremely flat water conditions (0.31m average) limits progression
Shallow nearshore areas visible in satellite imagery
Dense residential and agricultural development inland may affect wind flow
Low average wind speed (4.0 knots) below minimum for kitesurfing
