Surfing at Hikkaduwa Hotel - Hikkaduwa

Sri Lanka is one of the best surf holiday spots in the Indian Ocean offering high quality surfing, peaceful, beautiful and very tropical surroundings. The uncrowded beaches are some of the assets of the Sri Lankan coast. Surf in the country is mainly localized between the Southwest and Southeast of the Island. The south west and east coast of Sri Lanka has some excellent reef breaks that are well worth investigating.

The area has a very impressive coral reef that runs just offshore and is populated by exotic fish and sea turtles. North Jetty offers a coral bottom and is a right hand wave that requires a solid swell to break well. When this wave really gets going it can be one of the best rides of your life and offers a long ride with very hollow sections. Benny’s is another spot with a coral bottom this is a very fast left hand wave and can be testing with the wave often breaking over very sharp reef with shallow water, but the rides are again very exciting. This is an experienced only spot.

The main reef offers again a Coral bottom but great right and left hand surfing waves and is a real credit to what Sri Lanka surfing is all about and will be one of the waves you will surf regular on your surf holiday. Inside Reef as it’s adeptly known is a coral bottom that breaks fast and hollow with both left and rights and can be a real thrill seekers ride. The main surfing beach breaks of Hikkaduwa are all sandy and ideal for learning to surf. Just south of Inside Reef (above) there is a number of sandy spots which several types of waves and this area is recommended for the beginner, inexperienced and moderate standard surfer.
