Teluk Cempedak is a popular beach spot near Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia. It’s best known more for its lively seaside atmosphere than for heavy surf, but when conditions line up it can offer small to moderate waves suitable for beginner to intermediate surfers or bodyboarders.

Surf conditions

Wave quality: Usually inconsistent and dependent on seasonal swell
Best swell: More likely during the monsoon seasons, when stronger swells can reach the east coast
Break type: Typically a beach break
Wave size: Often small, but can occasionally get fun surfable waves
Wind/tide: Best when winds are light and the tide is favorable

Spot character

Accessible: Very easy to reach from Kuantan
Crowds: Can be busy, especially on weekends and holidays because it’s a major local beach destination
Atmosphere: More of a scenic, family-friendly coastal area than a dedicated surf zone

Good to know

Surfing here is not as reliable as at more established Malaysian east coast surf locations.
It can still be worth checking if you’re in the area and there’s been recent swell.
Because it’s a public beach, be mindful of swimmers, beachgoers, and changing conditions.
