Wat Summanawas

Wat Summanawas is a sheltered bay location on Thailand's coast with a northwest-facing shoreline. The spot features a protected lagoon environment with visible breakwater structures and numerous moored vessels, indicating active port and fishing operations. Water conditions are characteristically flat with minimal wave energy, typical of sheltered tropical bays. Wind reliability is extremely poor at 0.2%, making this an unreliable kitesurfing destination. The abundance of boat traffic, anchored vessels, and shallow water create significant congestion and safety concerns for kiting activities. While water temperature (28.1°C) is warm year-round, the marginal wind conditions and heavy maritime use make this spot suitable only for beginners during rare wind events, and only with careful attention to vessel traffic. The shallow bay bathymetry and breakwater infrastructure further limit progression potential. Better wind-exposed alternatives likely exist elsewhere on Thailand's coastline.
