Sri Lanka’s coastline is one of the Indian Ocean’s finest surf destinations, with quality breaks distributed across both the southwest and east coasts, ensuring year-round surfing conditions somewhere on the island. Arugam Bay on Sri Lanka’s east coast is the star of the country’s surf scene, a world-class point break with a relaxed, welcoming culture that attracts surfers from every corner of the globe between May and October. Hikkaduwa and Weligama on the southwest coast offer gentler, more forgiving waves ideal for beginners and intermediates, with excellent surf schools and experienced instructors providing all the guidance needed to stand up and ride.
