About
Fulerayem Point is an exposed sandbar break in the Gulf of Thailand near Songkhla that is known for extreme inconsistency—when it works, it’s typically around high tide when the tide is rising, but rideable waves are not reliable. Best timing is reported in the wet-season window, with sources highlighting November through April (with particular emphasis on November/December/January/February). The spot’s pattern is tied to monsoon conditions, and it’s often described as very small (including reporting of 100% small-wave frequency). Wind-wise, the spot is associated with east-southeast/offshore grooming in those cases when conditions align, while east winds can also coincide with onshore conditions. The ideal wave angle is described as coming from the west-northwest. In practice, this means careful session planning—checking swell direction/angle, tide state, and wind direction together. For safety, the main reported hazards are shallow sand/shallow sandbars and jellyfish, along with the general risk that conditions may be inconsistent and underwhelming. There are no lifeguards or dedicated kite-specific rescue services; emergency response relies on local services and the nearest major hospital in Songkhla.
