PHUKET: The International Surf Lifesaving Association (ISLA) has issued a surf danger warning as Southern Thailand braces for storm conditions following a weather warning issued for Phuket and the Andaman coast, including an advisory from the Phuket Marine Office calling for all small boats to stay ashore.

 

The ISLA warning issued at 9am today (July 16) is for Phuket and Khao Lak, and includes a High Surf Advisory, a Rip Current Advisory and Flash Rip Current Advisory from Nai Harn and islands surrounding Phuket's southwest coast, north to Pakarang Cape, Khao Lak and surrounding islands, including all west and southwest facing beaches and bars in-between.

 

“Surf heights of one to two metres are predicted through this weekend at the above beaches and locations. Swimmers, boaters, beachgoers, and anglers are advised to use caution near the shoreline,” the warning noted.

The bars always have a current “rip” advisory in place.... and they are especially relevant during low season, when income padding is required.... scrutinize yer bar bills and stay safe, folks.
