Sri Lanka Surf Camps - FAQS


Does Sri Lanka have good surfing?


With almost 1,600 kilometres of coastline and warm currents provided by the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is a fantastic surfing destination for beginners, intermediate and advanced surfers. The south coast provides reef and beach breaks suitable for all levels with gorgeous sandy beaches to boot.


When to go to Sri Lanka surfing?


Despite being a relatively small island nation, Sri Lanka experiences different monsoon seasons across the four corners of the island. So while one area might be in the middle of the wet season, the other side of the island will be ideal for surfing.


Our surf camps are located on the southern coast of Sri Lanka and so the best time to surf here is between November and April when the skies are clear and dry.


Where can beginners surf in Sri Lanka?


At our surf camps, of course! You can choose from our surf camp at Ahangama or Hiriketiya where the waves are warm and mellow, so you don't need a wetsuit and can ease yourself into learning to do the popup on a surf board.
