Cherating in Peninsular Malaysia is an exposed point break that does not work very often. Nov-April (Wet Season) provides favoured time of year for waves. Works best in offshore winds from the west northwest. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the optimum swell angle is from the northeast. There is no point break. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Rarely crowded here.

Visitor Reviews of Cherating
“Cherating is one of the more consistent waves in Malaysia, but doesn't always get the size that Batu Buruk and other Terengganu areas further north get. The wave is fatter and not as powerful as others, but it is predictable as it is a point break. The wave can give you some very nice rides of 100m+ or more as it breaks left down a huge sand bar (where as many of the other beach breaks will be quite short as the steep shoreline of most beaches causes waves to break close to the beach). It can also give you some barrels on bigger days. The major problem is it is getting crowded on the weekends as it is the closest and most known break near KL. The nice thing is if you get tired of paddling, just walk up the sand bar and you're right out near the take off zone again...”
