sbk Posted December 25, 2011 Author Share Posted December 25, 2011 Ban Kai on Koh P, neighbors place -- its coming up to our front step and still on the rise. Happens yearly but with beach erosion its getting closer and closer to our place. When I moved here years ago, our beach was probably 3 meters from beginning of sand to tide line, now its probably one meter and with very high tides and winds, it comes up to our front step.

Litlos Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I am 100km East of Koh Samui and we have had up to 5 metre waves going through today. Put that on top of an exceptionally high tide and no surprise the sea is coming inland a bit. The good news is the waves should have peaked today,and be going down over the next few days.

TrymStaumo Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I remember when there was high tide and a tropical depresion in March this year. The Seatran was out of business. Is the ferry running as normal now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litlos Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Not a boat , an oil and gas facility. In March when the waves were 7 metres I was on a boat until we called it quits and went and hid behind Koh Samui. Waves currently 1.5 to 3 metres, and trending down.

angiud Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Yesterday, at 12.00, around Srithanu, the small river/port is huge and some boats have sunk.

Anything on the north or east facing side will be hit harder than the south and west, which is where we are at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiud Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) Yesterday the classic Christmas beach cleaning done by Green Cross volunteers in Haad Rin has been suspended due to the big waves and the extraordinary high tide make the beach completely disappear. The waves follow the monsoon direction so they are coming from North-East and all the beach on the East side of the island are hit, more or less.

sbk Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Well, when this is all over, the beaches will be clean. Whats left of them that is, these kinds of waves do one of two things depending on currents, take massive amounts of sand off the beach, or add to them, but usually its the former rather than the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Tides been high & rough for a couple of weeks now. I've seen rough seas at Mae Haad & Koh Ma before, but never seen tides so high there.... (where these were taken) ..... That day I took the pictures, it was really calm in Tongsala... but ride back to Samui, was a little rough! Not good for the tour boat companies who should be getting into full swing, now....

But I am sure that if its not your house its all very humorous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 ...these kinds of waves do one of two things depending on currents, take massive amounts of sand off the beach, or add to them, but usually its the former rather than the latter On Bantai, these kinds of waves take massive amounts of dangerous garbage (plastic, fishing nets & broken bottles from fishermen, asbestos and demolition rubble from other local lowlife) and break it up all over beaches, all the way to Thongsala.
