What to Expect
Tide has no regularity (we are in Thailand after all), waves are wind depended - but we have a nice little beach break great for riding. Hua Hin beach has choppy waves getting bigger as the wind increases, a nice little shore break for shredding and boosting. Waves are smaller during the months of February to April. As for Jellyfish in Hua Hin, they can be found in November and then in March to May. Or when the wind comes from NE they are gone, and if wind comes from SE they will appear. Wearing long pants and rashy will do the job. Nasty jelly fish!
