An awesome long left hand point break which can handle big waves, picks up slightly more swell than Cimaja but not as tailored and more exposed to the wind.
There is a small channel to paddle in and out through the sharp reef but when it starts getting well overhead the long paddle from the beach may be a safer option.
We scored Sawarna several times with no one out and good set waves coming through.
Home stay accommodation can found in the little fishing village for Bt 350 per person per night including three excellent buffet style all-you-can-eat meals. Sawarna is a surfers paradise and was our favourite spot out of all the places we visited. We met Mercedes and Sergio here, two travelling Spanish surfers from Tarifa.
Mama Widi and her son who wanted the SUP for fishing, notice the old Indo paddle across the doorway.
Baya, a small town 20 minutes west of Sawarna has good beach break waves when the swell is small but was a daunting paddle out with huge thumping surf when we checked it.
