Go to Ku de ta( hipe bar), in Semyniak ( it's the oberoi street) which is very well known and then go straight onto the beach.

paddle straight out in one of the two channels. But wait for a break in the sets for the first section of the paddle as it is really sucky and hard to get out with waves.
Atmosphere
Its a nice spot which is very easy to find and you will always have spectators.
General
there is a nice vibe in the water and it is a really easy spot but if you get too close to shore when it breaks you get smashed.

yep, i agree... - ... if you know when and how it works - or at least know some local who does. beachbreak might be nasty. "party and drinks at the bar": not really the surfer hang-out.

got to be there at the right time - the wave isn't so bad at all. If you manage to get it right. In the morning or in the evening when there's no wind and the swell direction is right, you can catch really long rides both lefts and rights
