The best surf locations in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is a tear-drop shaped island in the Indian Ocean located to the south of the Indian subcontinent and is one of the most reliable surf holiday destinations in the Indian Ocean. As a year-round surfing destination Sri Lanka has been recognised by the international surfing community for some time now, with the east coast's Arugam Bay boasting an annual international surfing competition and Hikkaduwa hosting National Championship of the Japanese Pro Surfers Association in early November.
The slow pace of life coupled with the warmth of the friendly locals makes this place a surfers dream. For a small island, Sri Lanka has many nicknames: Serendib, Ceylon, Teardrop of India, Resplendent Isle, Island of Dharma, Pearl of the Orient. This colourful collection reveals its richness and beauty, and the intensity of the affection it evokes in its visitors.
So whether you're an expert or a beginner looking to ride the white stuff for the first time, there's something for everyone! The surfing season in Hikkaduwa starts in October and ends in early May but it is possible to surf other times of the year however the swell can not be guaranteed for more intermediate surfers.
