	Sri Lanka Surf Consistent swells from the south Indian Ocean hit Sri Lanka, and producing good fun waves all year round. The water is warm and the surf is not too powerful, so it's a great place for a relaxed and affordable surfing holiday.

Sri Lanka has different surf seasons on its east and west coasts, so there's always something working whenever your holiday. During the southwest monsoon, from May to October, the east coast gets the prevailing wind offshore. The northeast monsoon, from October to March, brings offshore winds to the southwest coast. Generally, the conditions are best in the morning.
Southwest Coast The Hikkaduwa-Ahangama-Midigama coast has plenty of mellow breaks from October to March. The Rock: a good left-right peak that can handle swells up to 7ft. Midigama Point: enjoyable left hander that works up to 6 ft. Start early for clean conditions. Ram's: Short right breaking over shallow reef. .
East Coast The coastline around Arugam Bay is well known for its consistent, fun waves: The Point: The main break at Arugam Bay is a longish right-hand point break, usually a couple of feet bigger than other breaks in the area. Tends to close out over 6ft. Pottuvil Point: A short tuk tuk ride north of Arugam Bay, this is a right hand point break that can give a long ride. Works on 2ft to 6ft. Crocodile Rock: A ½ hour tuk tuk ride south of Arugam Bay, and a 20 minute walk, Crocodile Rock needs a biggish swell to break at 3-4ft. On its day, it's a wally right hander.
