Lanta weather October

The last few days have definitely seen the change towards high season conditions. The wind has been swinging around and coming from NNW and in the evening last night we had spectacular lightning shows offshore. The sky is blue and ocean getting clearer and cleaner by the day as the swell drops and sand bottom settles. The forecast is for no swell and good weather all week. Enjoy

Here comes the sun

Looks like the rain has passed us and we are back to sunshine. The last few days we have had a SW swell which has ben great - the waves have more power in them, and Sam got barrelled for the first time in Thailand! He is stoked. The waves are small today but look to be picking up again over the weekend.

Monsoon season now

It seems that the monsoon season is coming on late and strong. 58 out of 77 provences of thailand have flooding, mainly in the North East - with rain from the typhoons that hit the Phillipines. Lanta has seen a few showers, mainly heavy overnight, then drizzle patches in the day. Overall we have been fortunate to miss most of the storms. It looks like the next week will have quiet a few showers again.

It is predicted that the winds will swing to the NE by mid October.
