Gottaung Beach is a surf spot located just 2 kilometers north of the more popular Ngapali Beach. It's not as well-known, but it offers some potential for those looking to catch some waves. This beach is more laid-back and less crowded, making it a decent choice for surfers who want to avoid the busier resorts. While the beach isn't famous for big waves, it can still provide some fun sessions if the conditions align.

The surf here handles swell sizes starting from about 1ft (0.3m) and works best with southwest swells. You can catch some waves breaking both left and right over the sandy bottom. When the tide is low, the waves can get a bit wedgy and hollow, particularly for less experienced surfers. It's a good spot for beginners, especially when the northeast wind is blowing, which tends to create better conditions.

Gottaung Beach can be a nice option if you're looking for a more relaxed surfing experience. Just remember that while it can be fun, don’t expect it to be epic every day. Always check the conditions before you head out, as things can change quickly!
