Surfing spots guide - List the best beaches and breaks for surfing around Phuket.

Phuket is one of the top surf destinations in Thailand, offering surf beaches for all experience levels. The island boasts consistent surf thanks to swells that roll in year-round from the Indian Ocean and Andaman Sea. Here are some of the best surf breaks and beaches for catching waves in Phuket:

Kata Noi Beach 

This is one of the most popular surf spots in Phuket, particularly for beginners. The left-breaking wave forms over a sandy bottom and is a consistent and gentle swell. There is a surf school where you can take lessons.

Karon Beach 

A long sandy beach with a beach break stretching almost the entire length. The waves are suitable for both beginners and intermediate surfers. Expect year-round surfing with the best waves from April through October.  

Kalim Beach 

This is a relatively secluded surf spot with an A-frame right-hand reef break. The waves can get steeper and faster here, perfect for intermediate surfers. There's a new surf hostel that offers board rentals if you don't bring your own.

Surin Beach 

The reef break here forms one of the best left-handers on the island when there's a good swell. The walls can pile up to over head high for experienced surfers. Watch out for crowds on weekends.

Bang Thao Beach 

This beach features an exposed reef break that is one of the most consistent for surfing. The beach has very few amenities so it's popular with surfers seeking peace and quiet. You'll find perfect right and left-hand breaks depending on the conditions.
