Surfing Photos of Karon Beach
Karon Beach is one of Phuket’s most consistent surf spots, picking up more swell than many of the smaller beaches on the island. These surfing photos of Karon Beach show what the waves are really like, from clean smaller days to more powerful surf during the peak season.
The beach is long and open, which allows it to handle bigger swell and spread surfers out. It is a good option for beginners on smaller days, but when the swell increases, it can offer fun waves for intermediate surfers as well.
If you’re checking conditions before heading out, this gallery gives you a realistic view of the wave shape, size, and overall setup. It’s also worth checking the live Karon Beach surf webcam for current conditions.
