Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Hua Hin Khao Takiab
Known for kitesurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves moderately: 10 m deep about 200 m out (1 in 21). The sea is about 28°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 31°C in May, its warmest (no wetsuit). For kitesurfing at intermediate level the best months are usually January, November and December, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Hua Hin.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
