With a wide range of excellent locations on both the east and southwest coast (each suitable at different times of year according to the monsoon seasons)

Sri Lanka is a year-round surfing destination. Sri Lanka has been recognised by the international surfing community for some time now, with the east coast's ARUGAMBAY boasting an annual international surfing competition and HIKKADUWA hosting National Championship of the Japanese Pro Surfers Association in early November.

So whether you're an expert or a beginner looking to ride the white stuff for the first time, there's something for everyone!

HIKKADUWA is a very popular beach destination just a few hours (98 Km's) from Colombo on the Southwestern coast of Sri Lanka.

There is an equally varied choice of Beach and Sea for tourists. Coral for snorkellers, waves for body and board surfers and a wide strip of sand.

Also a number of Cafes & eateries line the stretch of the Road in Hikkaduwa if u want to just sit back ,relax & have a “ bite “feeling the sea breeze. Hikkaduwa is indeed a modern destination for sun-seekers and wave worshippers.

ARUGAMBAY is on the list of the top ten surf points in the world. Situated on the South East side of Sri Lanka Arugam Bay receives the same Antarctic winter swell's that hit Indonesia in the in the middle of the year. The best time of the year is between May and November when the predominant wind is offshore for at least the first half of the day.

Due to its location and southerly swell direction the area is dominated by right hand point breaks. There is a beach break in front of the Stardust Hotel, which can be fun for body surfing or for beginners but that's about it.

Three of the point breaks "The Point", "Pottuvil Point" and "Crocodile Rock" are within a ½ hour tuk-tuk ride from the center of line of hotels. There are several other points that are within a 1½-hour's ride or can be accessed by boat.
