Can be surfed on short boards or long boards. Some days the waves are quite powerful , some good fast barrels and off shore winds with no crowds in the water, Swimmers should take care of whirlpool and strong current when the surf gets over 5 feet.
Atmosphere
Good atmosphere,Rayong Mae Ram Phung is the preferred beach for the Thai locals ,Not many tourist's in this area, far from Pattaya if you see what I mean, Great fresh sea food and if you time you trip right maybe some nice clean surfing waves to enjoy as well.Happy Surfing.
General
A easy spot to find , sport for beginners on small days, But be careful, The biggest we have seen in the last 5 years here was solid 8 foot waves with a strong off shore wind and barrels on very wave a epic surf session was had with only 3 surfers in the water all day. Check out Rayong Surf shop surf school on beach road behind nice beach hotel for all board rentals and surfing lessons.

- I've lived in this area on and off for over 2 years now and I have never seen a rideable wave worth frothing over,if you want to surf in Thailand,hit the Phuket area for some fun little beach breaks.
If anyone else has ever seen any rideable waves here I'd be interested to know.Put up some pics as proof.
Good luck and happy searching!!!!!!
