An overnighter in Phuket gave us the chance to sample some of Phuket’s beach and reef breaks. Forecast 4-6ft windswell @ 7 sec. It seems when the wind starts to blow hard and the swell picks up, Phuket’s many bays and coves offer plenty of shelter and handle the conditions surprisingly well. Stormy onshore waves greeted us at Surin beach.
We also surfed four of the five K’s, Kamala, Kalim, Kata, and Kata Noi. The beach breaks were fun but Kalim was holding up better.
The local Thai surfers were very friendly and welcoming in and out of the water.
