conditions at Nai Yang beach
A beach to keep an eye on, as great little banks and peaks appear out of nowhere. During low tide surfing can be good and a large coral reef island a long paddle offshore can offer quality waves in the right conditions, the paddle can be further than it looks though. Accessing the reef can be difficult as when there is swell the longtail boats won't go out. On it's day the paddle is definitely worth the trouble. The reef usually works best on a mid rising tide, as the tide pushes water over the reef. If you are there at the lower end of the tide you can walk on the reef to get out there. Nai Yang reef surf is subject to winds as it is a little off-shore, but early morning on smaller days can produce small glassy clean waves which break for long distances. The left and right peak in the middle and a right hander to the far left are the best spots for surfing here.
Surfing conditions and directions Something to keep in mind as you walk accross the beach to go surfing at Nai Yang is that between November and February each year the Giant Ridley Sea Turtles who can weigh up to 850 kg(1874lb) lay their eggs on the beach at night. You are allowed to watch, but please do not disturb the turtles Authorities protect the area and the turtle eggs and move many of them to special hatchery fields. On the north end of Nai Yang Beach is Nai Yang Park Visitor’s Center. Camping is allowed on both beaches and the park has a few bungalows near the Visitor’s Center. There are also hotels located close to the national park including JW Marriot and other hotels.
