Myanmar's extensive Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea coastline is one of Asia's last genuine surf frontiers. The coast around Ngapali Beach picks up monsoon swells from June through September, producing beach breaks along golden sand shores. The Myeik Archipelago in the south offers potential reef breaks in a setting of hundreds of uninhabited islands. Water temperatures are warm at 26-30C. Myanmar's ancient temples, dramatic landscapes, and warm Buddhist culture create a profoundly moving backdrop to any surf exploration.
