Plus: good fun waves, offshore winds during the monsoon, cheap travel.The season at the west-east (hikkaduwa, midigama etc) is from nov-march and then at the east coast (arugam bay) it's from may-sept.
Minus: Fickle swells and winds, pollution, localism, Suffering a major civil war which is no longer contained in the Northern provinces. Get good travel advice before going!
The surf in Sri Lanka is there on the whole south coast. there are heaps of places that pic up the swell and provide up to 3ft of good quility waves, if you want the good stuff youll have to go in season Jan/Feb. Sri Lanka is average in all departments, the surf the people the vibe everything. Some days are good in the water but if everyone who goes there is honest it is crowded. The local surfers are pretty good and are getting more and more aggro towards foreigners each season,

Advice on boards in sri lanka please??? - Hi all
I'm planning on heading out to sri lanka for july and august however I'm hesitating to take a board out as all the cheaper flights that are now left are with airlines that are pretty mean about boards.
I was just wondering if anyone knew much about how easy it is to buy a second hand cheapish (less than £200 or £150 ish), not to bad shortboard or fish whilst actually in lanka?
I cant seem to work out if there are many surf shops that deal in this sort of thing...
Any help/knowlodge will be hugely appreciated :)
Thanks
Joe

Great for beginners - The beach break is really easy to surf if you've been learning for a while and need some gentle waves for practice. I also love that it was never too crowded and their were very few swimmers in your way. This is a great place to surf if you are just learning.
Reef breaks looked awesome too, though not my style yet. Hikka is a good place to go though if you are traveling with a group of surfers of all levels. Something for everyone.

Left on East - Hello all,
I am planning a 2 months surf trip to Sri Lanka round June-August.
From what I read during that time of the year the best area me is the East cost (Arugam etc). The thing is that all the spots seems to be only right breaks? is it so?
Any one knows of left breaks on the east cost?
thanks,
Ben
