At rising tide, a strong current is observed at Karon Beach, as well as waves breaking on the beach in low season but is OK in high season. At high tide, like in many places in Thailand, the sea becomes very deep at a couple of meters from the shore only. At low tide, the bottom of the sea is flatter.
