Feature Krabi – it is strongly pronounced ebb on the beaches. Probably, here, like nowhere else, it was very much felt. I remember you come to buy, but there is no sea. From the word at all. It’s gone far away and for a long time, not reach him, not something to buy. So I had to figure out the tide tables and come at a specific time of the day when the water level is sufficient to bathing. The post serves as a supplement to my Krabi travel guide.

Ebb and flow
Interestingly, the phenomenon is even due to the position of the moon, but has no clear period. The most pronounced ebbs and flows are usually around the full moon, and the smallest – during the descending the moon To know exactly when and how much water goes, you need use a special table or program for calculations.
At the time of maximum low tide the water goes to many beaches. far that they become completely unworkable, and during maximum tide, on the contrary, water often practically “eats” strip of the beach and the waves are fighting on the embankment. By the way, during maximum tide the sea can be hectic and dirty. It’s good that the tides on many of Phuket’s less popular beaches expressed, although very close.
The most comfortable sea in the days when the differences between the highest water level and lowest minimal. That is, the ebb from low tide is not very different and the water level allows you to swim almost in any time. Usually during the tourist season just this it’s time, and in summer the ebbs and flows are expressed on many beaches stronger, so swimming in the summer will be more difficult. Rather, find convenient time for swimming.
You can find a table of ebb tides on various sites. For example, here on this. Link leads immediately to Krabi. Time will be differ depending on the beach because the height of the water may to be different in different locations, but in general it should be similar. Site in English, but it’s easy to figure out. The site is always indicated the time when the greatest height of the water and the smallest.

How to use the table
Just in case, I will tell you how to use tables from sites to which I gave links. It’s easier to navigate not according to the schedule, but according to tabular data, at least to me. It usually turns out that there is 2 low tide and 2 high tide.
High Tide – the maximum height of the water. Low Tide – Minimum water height.
You need to come closer to that time (plus or minus an hour) when the greatest height of the water, then you can normally buy. There are night tides that you do not need.
