Dangers
- Urchins
- Rocks
Additional Information
Wear your booties - sharp rocks and sea urchins - wave is hollow with a sharp take off - tube section and dropping out into deep water.
Atmosphere
This is an extremely secret spot - even locals don't know of it's existence - as far as I can work out it only works on large SE swell wrapping around the south west of Koh Samui - we hit it for 2 days solid at 3-4 foot - just the two of us.
General
Great surf - warm water.

Le Meridian ooh lah lah - I came to Thailand mainly for the snowboarding, but Le Meridian was working while I was there and it is an most excellent left hander with a right hand reform on the inside.
