At Haad Tien Bay our life is very much affected by the weather, particularly the state of the sea as access to the bay is by boat. Koh Phangan sees the SW monsoon during July to October. We may see rain during this time but the sea remains calm and there are plenty of boats. From mid-October to March is the NE monsoon. This change of wind direction means the wind is coming straight off the sea into the bay so we see relatively rough seas on the east side of the island, and it can be very windy during storms (mostly on October and November). Rough seas mean a longer journey to the bay by boat and less frequent taxi boats. Benefits of visiting us at this time include the cooler weather and the fact that it is quieter at the camp; so you will receive plenty of personal attention from our instructors. Despite the rough seas January and February are usually busy as there are many tourists on the island at this time and there is not much rain. March and April are very hot. There is no rain or wind and the sea is like a mill pond. The bay looks stunning at this time but for some the heat can be stifling.
