Top Activities to Enjoy in Phuket During the Green Season
1. Island Hopping (Weather Permitting)
Plan early morning trips to Coral Island, Koh Maiton, or Koh Yao when the weather allows. Local operators provide safe, reschedulable tours.
2. A Bit of Surf – If Conditions Are Safe
Green season in Phuket also marks the official surf season (May–October), especially along the west coast. Beaches like Kata Beach and Kamala Beach offer consistent, rideable waves perfect for beginners and intermediate surfers.
If you’re interested in trying surfing while you’re here:
- Kata Beach is the top pick: mellow waves, soft sand bottom, and many surf schools available.
- Kamala Beach offers smaller breaks with gentler conditions—great for learners.
- Nai Harn Beach is more powerful and suited to experienced surfers on calm-weather days.
ℹ️ Always remember:
- Red flag = no swimming/surfing. Respect beach safety signs.
- Check apps like MagicSeaweed, Windy, or Surfline for surf forecasts.
- If you’re new, consider booking a lesson or renting a soft-top board.
- The best surf time is usually early morning before the winds pick up or storms roll in.
You don’t have to be a pro—but you do have to be cautious. And if the waves aren’t right, just head to a nearby café and try again tomorrow.
