Kanthaya is a surf spot located near a government hotel site that’s a bit tricky to reach, as it requires a slow and tough road journey. The area has a rivermouth which helps create some sandbanks, making it a decent option for surfers looking to spend some time in the water. However, it’s worth noting that you can’t book accommodations in advance at this site. Keep in mind that it’s not recommended to visit during wet spells, as conditions can get less than ideal.

The best time to catch waves at Kanthaya is when the swell is coming from the SouthWest, but South and West swells also work here. This spot can handle swell sizes starting from around 1ft (0.3 meters), which makes it suitable for some beginner surfers looking to get their feet wet. The waves break over sand and come in both left and right directions. For the best experience, you’ll want to check the wind direction; East winds are preferred. You can surf here at low, mid, or high tides, giving you some flexibility with your session.

Since Kanthaya is beginner-friendly, it's a great place for those new to surfing to get some practice. Make sure to check the conditions beforehand since they can change, and plan your trip around the optimal swell and wind for the best surfing experience.
