Gwa is an interesting surf spot located along a curved beach that offers a reasonably protected southern end. It's pretty accessible, with an airfield nearby allowing for a quick flight from Yangon in about 50 minutes. While the waves here are not massive, the beach can be a nice place for a laid-back surf session, especially for beginners looking to get used to being on the water.

The best waves typically come from the southwest, and surfers can expect swell from the south and west as well. The beach handles smaller swell sizes around 1 ft (approximately 0.3 m), making it quite manageable for those starting out. The waves break over sand and can come in both left and right directions. For the best experience, it's recommended to catch the waves during low to mid tides, with winds ideally coming from the southeast.

This spot is perfect for beginners who want a low-pressure environment to practice their skills. Just make sure to get a board there and enjoy the chill vibes at Gwa!
