Arugam Bay is Sri Lanka’s surf mecca located on the south-east coast. It is an international surf destination with waves perfect for all surf levels! The town may get crowded, but that only means that the surfing conditions here are absolutely incredible.
Advanced surfers surf the main Arugam Bay break, while intermediate and beginner surfers take a tuk-tuk to the surrounding areas. Sand bottom shores, right-hand breaks, and consistent waves all-year-round are only a few of the reasons every surfer should go to a surf camp here at least once in their lives.
The resplendent waters surrounding the moon-shaped curl of soft golden sand in the eastern shores of Sri Lanka are known to be one of the best ‘point breaks’ in the world. Ride through the majestic waves of the ocean as they break in an exhilarating rush.
Surfing is best in Arugam Bay during the season of May to October each year. During this time the UK Pro-Surfers Association’s Sri Lanka Surf Championships is conducted. This event is open to everyone and during this time of the year the entire city becomes a hub of activity as the best surfers from around the world come together to participate in this thrilling event in one of the finest surfing hotspots in the world.
