Khao Lak

Khao Lak is a W-facing beach break in Phang Nga, Thailand. It picks up swell from SW to WSW and WSW to W and W to NNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 62% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the E: light winds or E breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while W onshores chop it up.
