samuijimmy Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 North and east side of Samui, is getting a bashing right now and the last while.... coupled with high tides, many areas are not safe for swimming or even being on the beach! ! How ever some protected beaches on west and south ends of Samui are not quite so bad.... west of Hau Thanon, it was quite pleasant the other day! Lots of people Kite surfing! This is Crystal Bay.... live....http://www.samuiwebcam.com/crystal_bay_koh_samui.html One local said it is supposed to get better after the 26th Dec.... let's hope so! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellred Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Was thinking if the weather in Phuket doesn't clear up by 7th Jan I may have to look to shift over to Samui although that looks even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Was thinking if the weather in Phuket doesn't clear up by 7th Jan I may have to look to shift over to Samui although that looks even worse. Windy, but no rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 On the south coast of Samui, the sea much calmer .... good wind you can go fly a kite! or dig for clams on the beach! not far from Hau Thanon. Other beaches around Samui, it's pretty rough still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocejanic Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Where can I get info on the ocean weather between Samui and Don Sak? Reason I ask is we are thinking about cancelling our ( already booked/paid) trip to Suratthani airport via ferry due to wave warnings on Dec 29. I heard it is and will remain pretty bad to dangerous to travel by sea now. My wife gets VERY seasick even in a parked car, and pills make her only vomit more. Finally, there's the baby. So I have some security and health concerns. Edited December 27, 2014 by ocejanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can change the language. Unfortunately no English - just American 29th looks OK. Worry when the wind colour is purple or maybe 'high' red wind speeds.

ocejanic Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Windguru states something like tiny waves (0.7m?) , but here http://www.tmd.go.th/en/thailand.php I read 2-4 m waves and boat warning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I could be wrong, but I believe that the site that you quoted is a general one and the warnings are covering mostly south of NST The windguru one is very local. Unfortunately they do not appear to cover Donsak (ferry port) or khanom. Anyway - it's up to you. See what is happening tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
