The upside of strong waves? It’s great for surfing ... sometimes.
Monsoon season in Malaysia often spells heavy rainfall, strong winds and rough seas. Between mid-October and the end of March, states on the eastern side of the peninsula such as Terengganu and Kelantan experience turbulent weather due to the northeast monsoon that temporarily dampens the tourism and hospitality sector.
Terengganu, for one, has the most number of resort islands with 14. But due to bad sea conditions, ferries and boats do not bring passengers to the islands during this time, forcing the resorts and hotels there to shut down operations.
