Ngwe Saung is a developing surf spot located on the western coast of Myanmar, featuring about 9 kilometers of beach break. It's not as crowded as some other surf spots, which makes it a decent choice for surfers looking for some space to ride waves. While the area is primarily focused on scuba diving due to the nearby resorts, there are still opportunities for surfers, especially beginners.
The best waves here come from a southwestern swell direction, with additional swell coming from the south and west. This spot can handle swell sizes starting from 1 foot (about 0.3 meters) and offers both left and right beach breaks. It's recommended to surf during low, mid, or high tide, but for the best experience, aim for a northeast wind direction. This beach can work well for beginners, making it a suitable spot for those just starting out.
Even though Ngwe Saung is still developing, it is a relatively hassle-free environment for surfing without major hazards. Surfing conditions can vary, but with the right swell and wind, it can be a fun place to enjoy a session. Just be prepared for some empty stretches of beach, which may appeal to those looking for a quieter surf experience.
