Best to surf with long boards in this area hard to get good waves ( mainly on - side shore wind ), short waves but quite powerful , some good bowls , take care of whirlpool and strong current over 5 feet.
Atmosphere
Good atmosphere,Rayong Mae RamPhung is the preferred beach for the Thai locals ,Not many tourist's in this area, far from pattaya if you see what I mean, Great fresh sea food and if you time you trip right maybe some nice clean long board waves to enjoy as well.Happy Surfing.
General
an easy spot to find , sport for beginners on small day, be careful after 5 feet, good atmosphere, friendly people on the beach
an epic session with my friend in july this year, 5 feet, offshore wind,Check out Rayong Surf School Surf Shop at the south end of the beach for all board rentals and lessons.

- I've lived in this area on and off for over 2 years now and I have never seen a rideable wave worth frothing over,if you want to surf in Thailand,hit the Phuket area for some fun little beach breaks.
If anyone else has ever seen any rideable waves here I'd be interested to know.Put up some pics as proof.
Good luck and happy searching!!!!!!
