Phuket Windsurfing Travel Tips

By Matt Link
  • The dry season from mid-November to mid-March is when the consistent northwestern winds blow, making for ideal windsurfing conditions.
  • During the rainy monsoon season, from May to November, winds come out of the west, creating waves for jumping, especially in July and August.
  • The months of January and February see 15 knot winds or higher at least 80 percent of the time.
  • No need to pack a board: Most beaches and resorts in the Phuket area rent sailboards by the hour, day, or week.

By Matt Link

Despite the devastating tsunami on December 26, 2004, Phuket has rebuilt and retains its status as the crown jewel of Thailand. Read More
