Kata Noi Beach is 700 m of sand in Ката, open to the south-west monsoon, lifeguarded in daylight, reached by дорога free of charge. Best months to swim: November–April; rip-current risk from May to October: high. Good for swimming, quiet, sunset.
Ката-Ной is Ката's little sister over the headland to the south: seven hundred metres of sand, slightly steeper than Kata Yai, with the Katathani resort taking most of the frontage and the Karon Viewpoint road climbing away behind. Because there is almost no town, it is quiet even in February, and the water is as clear as anywhere on the west coast in the calm months. The steeper profile means a dumping shore-break in the green season and rips at both ends; it is lifeguarded in daylight and red-flagged on the same days as Ката. Surfers use the southern end when Kata Yai is crowded. Nui Beach, the small cove beyond the next headland, is a steep track away.

Island rough-sea days, median per calendar month, 2015–2025; the beach's best months in the figure colour · Open-Meteo (ERA5), 2015–2026
The table above applies the island's marine normals to this beach: median rough-sea days per calendar month from Open-Meteo (ERA5), 2015–2026 (2015–2025, marine fields from 2022), damped by the beach's shelter, and median sea-surface temperature from Open-Meteo Marine API (2022-12–2026-08). Calm months here: October–April. Some swell: May–June. Rough: July–September. The sea is 28.8–31.0 °C as monthly medians, warm in every month; temperature never decides a swim on Phuket, the sea state does. The best-months row is the beach's own calm season and is derived, not opinion.
Безопасность
Kata Noi Beach is open to the south-west monsoon, which decides its year. It takes the south-west swell directly, so it follows the island's marine normals exactly: a calm sea in October–April and rough-sea days in May–September, when red flags fly on rough days and the rip-current risk is high. Lifeguards patrol in daylight; a red flag means the sea is closed to swimming, and the guards will whistle swimmers out. Caught in a rip: float, swim parallel to the beach until the pull stops, then in. Phuket records around 30–40 drownings a year, most of them between May and October on the open west coast; the hospitals catalogue names the nearest 24-hour emergency room from Ката, and the emergency number is 1669. Jellyfish drift in after storms on the whole coast; vinegar is the first aid.
