Khao Lak Beach

Khao Lak Beach is a W-facing beach break in Khao Lak, Phang Nga, Thailand. It picks up swell from WSW to W and W to NNW and NNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 61% 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.
