Anantara Peace Heaven Tangalle, Sri Lanka
One of the unique aspects of surfing in the Tangalle area of the Southern Province in Sri Lanka is that it offers a refreshing escape from the crowded surf spots. Unlike some of the more popular destinations, Tangalle is a little further away from the hustle and bustle, allowing surfers to enjoy a more serene and peaceful experience on the waves.
Additionally, Tangalle is an all-year-round surfing region due to its strategic location. Located on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, it benefits from two monsoon seasons, which means that no matter the time of year, you can always find good surf conditions. During the southwest monsoon from April to October, the waves on the east coast are perfect for surfing.
And during the northeast monsoon from November to March, the west coast offers great waves for surfers to enjoy. This makes Tangalle a fantastic destination for surfers seeking consistent waves throughout the year.
