As a general rule, the air and water temperature on Koh Siboya are fairly consistent (air: mid- to high-80s, water: low 80s); but with considerable variation in terms of other aspects of the weather. The High Season (October–February) has relatively low rainfall and winds. The Hot Season (March–June) has very little wind, so the heat can seem stifling. The Wet Season (July–September) provides excellent wind for windsurfing and kitesurfing, but also gives proof to it’s name in that every day or two it can pour rain for as long as 4 hours straight, so bring a good book along with your kitesurfing rig.
The High Season offers little rain, cool breezes, and the lowest temperatures of the year. It’s a pleasant time to snorkel, kayak, and hike or bicycle around the island. The low winds are not great for an experienced wind surfer, but it can be a good time for your first try at it. The High Season is the busiest time in Krabi and other nearby towns.
The Hot Season has almost no rain, little wind, and the highest temperatures of the year. There are very few tourists, so it’s a great time for sightseeing and shopping without crowds. This is also a great time to snorkel and a good time to go for a paddle in a kayak and follow it with a dip in the ocean or ride a scooter around the island.
The Wet Season has strong winds (20 knots or more) and guarantees rain almost every day, sometimes for four (4) hours straight. This is the time to bring your kite surfing gear and a good book. Time your kite surfing or wind surfing session around the rain and then relax with your book while the rain comes down. The runoff from the rain keeps the water murky around Thai West, so if you want to snorkel, make reservations for an off-island trip to the reefs near Koh Phi Phi.
