Surfing in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is a great place for surfing and has been a popular surf destination since the 1970s. A relatively small, tropical island with an opposite east-west monsoon season, Sri Lanka has two distinct seasons on either side of the island. If you’ve thought about surfing in Sri Lanka, what are you waiting for? High quality waves, warm water and friendly locals will ensure a trip of a lifetime.
“When you are waiting for a wave your mind can think a thousand different things. when you paddle for a wave your mind thinks of only a few things. when you catch a wave your mind thinks of only one thing, that one thing is joy. This is why I surf. ” – Ron
Before you surf, you don’t get it. You seek this mystical, mythical enlightenment which doesn’t exist because it ain’t a movie. It’s an experience. Live it, don’t try to create it. You cannot be any more in the present than when you surf, because any loss of focus and you’re off the board!

“We were with our 4 year old daughter for surfing in Sri Lanka and met this school by chance. It is really great there. The staff is very nice and helps with all questions. Our 4 year old daughter has taken her first surf lessons. They were all super nice to her so that she didn’t lose the fun. Can only report positive things! We will come back again. Thanks”
Surf culture in Sri Lanka
Surfing in Sri Lanka has a rich history that dates back to the 1960s when foreign travelers and surfers first discovered the island’s perfect waves. Arugam Bay, on the east coast, became the country’s first internationally recognized surf spot, attracting adventurous surfers from around the world. Over the years, local surfers began embracing the sport, and by the 2000s, Sri Lanka had developed a strong surf culture, with local competitions, surf schools, and a growing industry. Today, places like Weligama, Dewata, and Hiriketiya are thriving surf hubs, contributing to tourism and making Sri Lanka one of the top surfing destinations in Asia.
