‘If in doubt, don’t go out” – ISLA warnings

“Short-period waves of 2-3 metres are battering Phuket’s west coast beaches. Sudden squalls can produce dangerous winds and surf height can increase quickly. Sets of large waves are powerful enough to overwhelm bathers and sweep them off their feet directly into powerful, outgoing, rip currents, and can be swept out to sea,” according to a spokesperson for the ISLA.

Beaches currently experiencing these severe conditions include: NaiHarn, Kata Noi, Kata, Karon, Surin, Bangtao, Layan, Nai Thon, Nai Yang and Mai Khao.
