Surfing in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka does not have an offseason. Like most places, you just need to know where to go. If you have researched surfing in Sri Lanka you would have come across Arugam Bay on the East Coast which pumps May – September. Maybe even Hikkaduah (South Coast), that comes alive November – April.

Outside of these two well-known spots, you can still find waves in the ‘off-season’ as long as your travel plans are flexible and you’re willing to listen to local advice. In the time we were there (the apparent ‘off season‘), we found Sri Lanka to be one of the most reliable surf destinations in the Indian Ocean.
