The monsoon is back, and Mersing had its first storm today.
Most people think the monsoon is wet and rainy, but actually most
of the time there are strong north easterly winds. It makes the weather nice and cool, like Cameron Highlands or Genting resort. In fact it is cool enough to wear a light jacket, perfect snuggling weather or cuddle to a good book if thats your cup of tea.
It's amazing to just stand by the sea, and marvel at the powerful waves pounding the shore. Although, you can't go swimming in the open ocean, and snorkling is not recommended, there are several coves in the area, where you can still swim (always check with the locals though to make sure).
The monsoon season, gives nature a chance to regenerate from commercial fishing and other human activities. So celebrate nature's renewal and come enjoy the season !

Hi, Great Job on the blog.
I'm from Mersing myself, and this is a good reference for my friends whom I'm inviting after christmas.
Any more tips of what we could do in this weather?
Could you include spots that we could go swim during the monsoon?
thanks

There are coves which are south facing, like at Tg Resang (North of Mersing). These are typically not too deep and protected by the NE waves.
Another UNHAPPY CUSTOMER of BLUEWATER EXPRESS!
All/Most of the boat staff unfortunately are chain smokers and their second-hand smoke permeates the passenger compartment. Customers should demand their money back and other damages for this kind of disgusting abuse.
I agree, most vessels should only allow smoking outdoors not indoors in the cabin. Its unhealthy and poses a fire hazard.
