South Myanmar surf guide

South Myanmar is an interesting spot for surfers looking to explore beyond the usual tourist beaches like Ngapali and Ngwe Saung. The coastline here transitions into a mix of estuaries and islets as it approaches the Ayeyarwaddy Delta, which can create a unique environment for catching some waves. While it's not the most popular surf destination, there are opportunities to find less crowded spots and enjoy a more laid-back vibe.

The surf here primarily relies on southwest windswell, especially during the peak of the southwest monsoon from June to August. The best swell direction is southwest, but it can also pick up waves from the south and west. This area can handle swell sizes at around 1 ft (0.3 meters), making it a suitable spot for beginners. Waves typically break over sandy bottoms, offering both left and right waves. The conditions are generally good at low, mid, and high tides, and if you're lucky with the wind, northeast winds can help create some fun surf days.

Even though the region might not have consistent surf compared to other destinations, the numerous estuaries and rivermouths could potentially harbor some uncharted sandbars waiting to be explored. Surfers willing to venture off the beaten path may discover some hidden gems in this largely unspoiled area. It’s worth noting that the accessibility of surf spots can vary, so some legwork might be needed, but it could be a rewarding experience for those who seek adventure.
