The Wave
Use Cox's Bazar as a beach-break read rather than a fixed takeoff: SW swell and NE to north wind are the cleanest setup, and low, mid, or high water can all work if the sandbars are standing up.

Cox's Bazar
Cox's Bazar is Bangladesh's signature surf beach: a long Bay of Bengal beach break tied to the country's first surf clubs, Jafar Alam's origin story, and the national contest scene. It is a broad, sandy, tourist-fronted shoreline where the wave quality depends on whether the southwest pulse lines up cleanly enough across the banks.
