A sheltered bay on Phuket's west coast and the centre of Thai surfing. From about May to October the south-west monsoon sends swell from the Andaman Sea, and a sandbar at the southern end of the beach gives friendly waves for learners and longboarders. Easterly winds blow offshore. Outside the monsoon the bay is usually flat, clear and good for paddling or swimming.
