Surfing Highlights
Arugam Bay
Sri Lanka’s jewel, a long right sandbottom point that provides barrels and big turn sections. It is at its best at 3-4ft, but can be surfed up to 6-8ft if conditions are right, but beyond 4-6ft it tends to section. It can get quite crowded, and only occasionally serves up a hollow section here and there – mostly on the semi wedgy take off peak. The best thing about A-Bay is its consistency. It is renowned for having some sort of rideable wave on most days in the season.
Pottuvil Point
Hollow, though it is fickle. It is more sheltered, so only breaks when A-Bay is almost maxing out. The sucky take off section is barely a few metres in front of a series of dangerous phallic shaped boulders, followed by one or more distinct bowl sections before the main Spectators rock. Beyond “Spectators” it reels down the point for another 50 to 100 metres of playful manoeuvring into the beach. Then you can jog back around the Point and do it all again.
Okanda
A little over an hour south of A-Bay by road is another fun, walled up performance wave with quite a hollow little inside section. There is also a brief opportunity to get covered on the take off- if you can be bothered paddling over onto the trailing edge of the whale- shaped rock shelf. Okanda picks up just as much swell as A-Bay even though it is more sheltered from the predominant south/southeast trade winds that tend to kick in like clockwork around mid morning every day.
