Chendor was the most talked about during the last surfing season as it produces the most consistent waves during the whole season. I was there last Christmas and i was so stoked that on that day the waves was pealing from dust till dawn. Let alone only 5 of us in the water enjoying the waves all by ourself!!!
In my blog itself, many has warn the new surfers on the danger of surfing in Chendor beach. It is not as bad as described but for newbies, surfing on the lower beach break is the best deal. Never try to paddle to the main point and surf with the more experience surfers. Your inexperience surfing skill will not only danger yourself but to other surfers as well....especially if u r waiting for waves down the lines. Often the more experience surfers will take off right in front of the rocks thus your chances of getting waves is almost impossible. So just chill out and learn on the lower beach break and watch how this more experience surfers surf....
It is not easy to access to Chendor beach break. It is located 10 minutes drive away from Cherating. The main break is almost 20 minutes walk from the secluded beach parking area. Car break-in are common here....park at own risk.
If u opt. to drive your car all the way to the break, you can do so by driving a 4X4 all the way in through the sandy beach. But remember to drive out once the tides comes in or else get ready to swipe away by the waves!!!!
There is another alternate route driving through the jungle with your normal car but car break-in is often in the jungle too....Sounds like alot of hassle rite? Hitch a ride with some of the locals sounds more interesting!!!
Or just settle and surf in Cherating is the best deal...
This is just abit of advice from a inexperience surfers like me. If u never been to any new spots, just sit by the beach and watch how is the beach situation and ask the locals before heading into the waves.
