The beach is near Patong beach, you can actually see it from there. Follow the 'Thaweewong Rd.' to Kamala and Surin. 300 meters from Novotel. Go with your motorbike.
Watch where the locals go in when it is high tide, mind the sharp rocks. Peddel in inmidiatly. Bring your own board with you, no board rental. (nearest in Patong, 200b an hour)

You idiot.
In addition to my note below. There are ample places to hire a surf board. You just have to get off your ass and look for the hire places. There are two in patong, one in kalim, 2 in surin and 3 or 4 between patong and kata. See you at the pool bar at the patong merlin knackerbags.

You idiot.
To the fella who stayed at the patong merlin and did not see a wave over one foot. Well of course you didnt you idiot. If you did an ounce of research, you will find that phuket has surf seasons. From april through to about August, the Andaman Sea send beautiful ride-able 4-6 foot sets towards patong, kalim, karon and kata beaches. From Sept to april, the gulf of thailand smothers the east coast (Koh Samui) with great surf. You were there in the off season you twit. Hope you enjoyed the pool bar, sounds like you didnt leave it. Typical tourist.

surfing at low tide
word of warning this break has some very shallow waves so if you like to surf good waves that have a foot of water underneath sometimes go for it me i prefer waiting longer for the bigger sets out back. This spot is very difficult o get in and out at low tide and there are many submerged rocks if you don't know where you are heading be careful have have many hole sin my board and back now. You can fin dtide times on phuket gazette .com website.
