A sailing cruise in Malaysia Located south of Thailand, Malaysia has fantastic landscapes, many green islands around Langkawi and another large island, still virgin, Tioman. Sailing conditions Sailing conditions in Malaysia in the langkawi region are favourable from November until April, when the weather is dry and sunny, with north-east winds and calm seas. During the remainder of the year, the winds are stronger and come from the south-east. The average all-year round wind speed varies between 5 and 20 knots.
In the region of Tioman the rainy season begins in October and lasts through until April. Monsoon weather conditions prevail between November and January, during which time many establishments are closed and sea travel is limited, with services occasionally being severely disrupted. During Ramadan, services can also suffer from delays and disruptions, particularly in the areas of Kelantan and Terengganu.
Because of their many tranquil anchorages, the numerous small islands of Malaysia are an ideal destination for sailing cruises.
