General surf information
Krui Left is hidden away behind a headland and needs a big SW swell to be excellent, which might happen June to August. It can hold 2 mtrs and be a perfect left hand reef break with a nice barrel. Most of the year it is 1 to 1.2 mtrs or less and suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers.

Average Krui Left at 1 mtr ~ Nov 2016
When the swell is too big at other breaks everyone heads to Krui, this becomes a real problem as Krui Left has a very small take-off zone and can not handle a crowd. With more than 15 in the water you will need to compete for waves at Krui Left.
Directions
From Krui head to the main beach. From Tanjung Setia it is a 1/2 hr scooter ride to Krui.
If your driving from Tanjung Setia you can avoid driving through the traffic of Krui town. There is a quieter road to Krui beach, just before Krui look out for the Darussalam sign, after the sign take the next left turn.
