Kanthaya is a rivermouth break where the river helps shape sandbanks, giving you a sand-bottom wave that peels both left and right. It sits at a Government Hotel site along this stretch of coast.
When It Works
Kanthaya draws swell from south to west, with southwest swell the best match for the sandbanks. It works from 0.3 m / 1 ft to 1.5 m / 5 ft, so there's a useful window once a bit of size shows up. Consistency is on the lower side, so it can be hit or miss, but it's an easy, beginner-friendly wave when it lines up.
Wind and Tide
Look for east offshore wind to clean it up. The bank works through low, mid, and high tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
This one suits beginners, and the lineup tends to stay quiet, so you can expect plenty of space to find your feet.
Access
The hotel here can't be booked in advance, and getting to it means a slow, arduous road journey. It's best skipped during wet spells.
