Buying blow Mirissa

Surf safaris in tuk tuks, delicious curries, and fun waves for every ability of surfer — this is surfing Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is a beautiful country. Sri Lanka has two very different surf hubs operating on opposing surf season schedules, so you can score fun waves in Sri Lanka any time of the year. We specialize in bespoke luxury surf trips to Sri Lanka, tailored to your surf level and preferences. Enjoy an expertly-planned surf vacation with insider surf intel, the best surf coaches, stunning villas, surf photography, and more. Learn more. Table of Contents. Travel Basics. Sri Lanka Surf. Where to Stay. Travel Insurance. Mostly hot and humid with some tropical thunderstorms rolling through here and there to cool things down a bit. This means temperatures will likely be in the degrees Fahrenheit range or degrees Celsius. And it can often feel hotter than what your average weather app is telling you, so you might want to stick with surfing in the mornings and evenings as often as possible to avoid the brutal sun and heat. Leaving around 10 percent of the total bill directly with our server is what we typically did. Usually, there would be no need to tip a tuk-tuk driver, but you can always tip for exceptional service. There was only one plan available to us which included 8. Dialog does not allow you to use your mobile phone as a hotspot which is a bummer. But most hotels and restaurants offer free wifi. Many hotels and restaurants completely close up shop. Although the monsoon season definitely brings more rain and storms, keep in mind that the weather forecasts are not very accurate for the southwest coast of Sri Lanka. The forecasts may likely show thunderstorms all day every day, but the reality could be a quick rain in the early morning or afternoon. We found the southwest coast to be a welcome relief when we visited in the off-season. It was 10 degrees cooler than up in Arugam Bay and much quieter, which was a nice change of pace. Sri Lanka has a variety of surf breaks to choose from and something for everyone. You will find sand bottom points, beach breaks, reef breaks and other interesting little set ups along the way. For the most part, many of the breaks are fairly user-friendly, making Sri Lanka an excellent option for the beginner to intermediate surfer. Once again, Sri Lanka is a great place to learn to surf or to hone your skills and advance into some more serious waves. With a variety of user-friendly waves and some really great surf instructors to help you progress, surfing in Sri Lanka caters to all levels of experience. On the Southwest Coast, the best conditions and greatest variety of waves are typically on offer from November through April. The winds are most likely to be offshore in the mornings and late afternoons. Waves often run in the head high range and can push to double overhead during this time. In the offseason on the Southwest Coast, many of the premiere breaks like Rams, The Rock, Lazy Lefts, and other main breaks stop working due to less than ideal wind conditions and different swell directions. The surf season around Arugam Bay is from May through September. During the peak season, Arugam Bay is graced with many offshore mornings and there are several nearby breaks which have headlands that provide some wind protection and keep things fairly clean and ridable throughout the day. At the best breaks on both coasts you can certainly count on finding hefty crowds much of the time. In the Eastern Province, Arugam Bay is the main attraction and located directly in town. Eager surfers are up and on it long before first light to beat the crowds and the heat, mostly the crowds. A hint for surfing the Eastern Province. There are still places you can surf all alone at least for a period of time before a few others show up. In both regions, there are still waves out of sight and farther than most people are willing to go searching for waves. The water temperature in Sri Lanka ranges from about 80 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit or 27 to 29 degrees Celsius all year long. So be prepared to enjoy all those board shorts and bikini sessions, although you might want to wear a rash guard from time to time for some extra protection from the powerful sun. Hiring a tuk-tuk driver is the easiest way to get to the surf in most cases and also part of the fun of surfing Sri Lanka. Most hotels and resorts will be more than happy to help you sort it out. Or you can always chat and negotiate prices with local drivers yourself. Think Mad Max without the explosives. Explore luxury done-for-you surf vacations with Lush Palm Private Retreats. On the Southwest Coast, the surf breaks are closer together and you can see many of them from the main coastal road which makes it easier to navigate. In Arugam Bay, we had an awesome driver by the name of Kannan. In most cases any given tuk-tuk driver will start high for their going rate, so always be prepared to negotiate a rate that you feel okay with and never get into a tuk-tuk or taxi until the rate has been agreed on. Tuk-tuks hold two passengers comfortably, but you can squeeze in a third if you need to. All of the breaks outside of Arugam Bay require navigating through unmarked dirt roads. A lot of hotels and restaurants fully close up shop during this timeframe due to a lack of tourism. You can still score fun waves at this time, but there are definitely fewer breaks on offer. The offseason in the Eastern Province is around October through April. A ton of hotels and restaurants fully shut down there as well. Getting around in Sri Lanka is always an adventure. In certain parts of the country, wild elephants hang out in the middle of the road. Our driver told us that because people feed the elephants along the roadside, the elephants will now stand there just waiting for passing cars to feed them through the window. One of the most incredible things about Sri Lanka is the wildlife, but elephants begging on the side of the road is a negative effect of human interference with wild animals and the natural environment. Back to the nitty-gritty. Both surf hubs are far away from the airport Arugam Bay is a hour drive, and the Southwest coast is a hour drive , so you have a couple of basic options for transportation. Option 1: Travel from the airport to your surf hub by way of a taxi, bus, or train, and then use tuk-tuks or rent a scooter to get around at your destination. For the most part, taxi drivers, bus drivers, and tuk-tuk drivers all abide by the same rules: drive fast and pass often even on blind corners. With that said, renting your own vehicle is probably not a great idea if this is your first time to Sri Lanka. And then a bus or taxi from Badulla to Arugam Bay. There are plenty of options for getting around in Sri Lanka. We decided not to hassle with the trains and buses since we were lugging around our bulky surfboard bags , but we heard that the scenery on the train routes is absolutely gorgeous and that you can sit can dangle your legs off the side of the train which sounds pretty rad. If you want to go on the train or a bus with surfboard bags it might pose some challenges. You might have to wait around for a bus or train with extra cargo space and pay a few extra bucks. So plan accordingly. Areas like Hikkaduwa, Unawatuna, and Weligama on the south coast are popular among surfers, offering a range of accommodations from budget to luxury. Further east, Arugam Bay is renowned for its surf scene and has a mix of affordable guesthouses and stylish resorts. For budget travelers, Sri Lanka has numerous hostels and guesthouses that provide clean and comfortable accommodations. These budget options are perfect for solo travelers or those looking to stretch their travel funds further. These hotels often boast beautiful design, convenient locations near the beach, and in-house dining options. For those seeking the ultimate in luxury, Sri Lanka does not disappoint. The island is home to several high-end resorts and villas, particularly in areas like Bentota, Galle, and Mirissa. These luxury accommodations offer world-class amenities, stunning ocean views, private pools, and exceptional service. Travelers should be aware that certain times of the year, especially during peak holiday seasons and major surfing events, can see a surge in bookings. We highly recommend planning and booking your accommodation well in advance to ensure the best selection and availability. At Lush Palm, we specialize in bespoke luxury surf trips to Sri Lanka, tailored to your surf level and preferences. Enjoy a 5-star surf vacation with insider surf intel, the best local surf coaches, stunning oceanfront villas, talented private chefs, surf photography, and more. Get in touch here to start planning your trip. Below is just a few of the many stunning properties we have available for your surf vacation in Sri Lanka. We hand-pick properties based on design, amenities, and proximity to surf breaks. Sri Lankan food is similar to Indian food with plenty of rich spices and flavors — and absolutely delicious! A lot of the restaurants in the tourist hubs of Sri Lanka try to be everything to everyone. Many menus offer everything from local dishes to burgers, noodles, and more. Personally, I prefer not to eat at restaurants that try to offer everything, but when options were slim, we ate our fair share of meals at places like this and even they were quite good, although we always ordered the local dishes. Sri Lankan curries are super tasty! And roti are tasty easy snacks you can find at street vendors all over the country. That being the case, many hotels and surf properties actually require that you have approved travel insurance in case of a serious inquiry or trip cancellation, especially in the wake of COVID. You know the deal—better safe than sorry. We recommend battleface or World Nomads Insurance. Both companies offer very comprehensive travel insurance and cover heaps of activities, including surfing and ocean sports. You can easily check them out and get a fast quote below.

Could you please advise me? Hello, September falls within the season on the east coast, so Arugam Bay is likely your best bet for the most consistently clean conditions. Yeah, you can certainly find quality surfboard rentals. Might take some searching to flesh out the best options. Thanks so much for all the information! Do you have any recommendations please? With our custom surf trip planning services we can help you plan an amazing trip and connect you with a great local instructor. You can learn more here. Hi John, yes, of course, here you go! Hi Emma, yes, of course, here you go! Hi there, Would love to know what board rental is like in Sri Lanka? Ceylon sliders in Weligama offers surf board rentals. They have both longboards, fish boards and a few shortboards I think. Flying out to Sri Lanka late April and wondering whether it is worth exploring the south coast for waves or to go straight over to the east. Planning a trip in winter, I notice governmental websites advise against only if its highly necessary. Sri Lanka has been through a lot over the years, and the country could use the support of tourism now more than ever. Hope you are able to get out there and have an amazing trip! Hey dude, planning a surf trip for me and my gf, both pretty damn beginner. Was thinking of Sri Lanka and read your article. Super useful! Any info would be great. Thanks man. Hard to say as your timing is right between both seasons, that said, the southewest region gets waves year round, the winds are just more favorable for more consistently clean conditions in the prime surf season. So the southwest region is would prob be safer bet although you can potentially score in either area. This site has provided me with great information. I am thinking of planning a trip early December to the south west coast. Any helpful information that you can provide? I surf Mexcio a lot. This will be my first far away surf trip and plan to start doing more. Any advice you can think of is greatly appreciated. Hey there, awesome! Cheers and happy travels! Thanks Eric. I have been researching a lot. Would it be best to perhaps stay around Weligama or Hikkaduwa? Would that be a good area to branch out from to surf various areas? Yeah, Weligama is a great hub for exploring the southwest coast. There is a good concentration of breaks within striking distance from there. Hey, depends where you go, but you should be able to find fun surf somewhere! Especially compared to Bali I was expecting fewer crowds in Sri Lanka and I hoped for somewhat remote surf. However, after looking at a couple of edits from Arugam area, it looks as crowded — if not more crowded — than Bali. I was kind of surprised to see that honestly. So finally my question s : How bad are the crowds? Is there a lot of localism? Can you easily escape the crowds by looking for other spots outside Arugam? And are there other good spots? Hey David, to jump right into your questions. Like most places it varies from break to break, based on time of day, etc, etc. Of course, Arugam Bay is one of the most well-known and crowded waves in that area, but you should still should be able to manage getting some fun ones there. Hi Craig — Thanks for your feedback! We highly recommend the retreat and this coastline is a beautiful lush area! Hey, thanks! Hey hey Thank for the info super good to know and loads of info. Heading down there in First week of March. We staying in Abode Ahangama so looks central. Looks like its early rise and check the charts or sports. Fun time ahead I hope ewwwwwww. Hey Simon — Thanks for your feedback! Hope you score and have an amazing trip! Hey legends! Extremely grateful for everything you are doing, have so much epic info! Hey James, thanks for the kind words! Hire a driver for the quickest route, or hop the train for more scenery and adventure. Happy travels! Hi Eric, we are thinking of traveling in April from the US. Where are you traveling from? Are you worried about the closures and difficulties in getting there due to covid? Ive been reading. Which is heart breaking because we are dying to go! Hi Leah, awesome! I hope that travel will get easier with time as the world adapts to the new norms, but only time will tell. Glad you found our site to be helpful! Let us know if we can further help with booking your trip. This info is disappointing in some ways. I have reason to be in South India May-June I was thinking of taking a flight over to Sri Lanka for some surf. You make it sound impossibly crowded with the line-up packed before sunrise?! Why travel halfway around the world to find another Malibu? I often pay just to get to difficult to reach, uncrowded waves, whatever it costs. Any suggestions for that part of the world? At the most well-known spots like Arugam Bay and Weligama there can be plenty of people out at peak season. That said, if you travel a bit farther to surf breaks away from the most well-known spots you can hire a tuk tuk , you can find line-ups with fewer people. We surfed some breaks in Sri Lanka with a handful of people out and it was awesome — it was just a solid minute drive away from a popular surf hub. The Maldives come with a luxury tropical paradise, plus fewer surfers out than Sri Lanka. For the ultimate surf splurge, you can even charter a seaplane for surf excursions. Check out this Guide to Surfing the Maldives. Niyama is a luxury resort with its own surf break off the island and many other breaks nearby accessible by boat. I am thinking about going to Weligama in August the third week. I am from India. This trip will be mainly to introduce my two kids to surfing. Is August a good month? I am flexible about other locations too to try out within Srilanka. Hi Bharathi, yeah, while August is not a part of the peak prime surf season, there will be still be waves that are plenty suitable for kids just learning to surf, so no worries on that front. If you are looking for better quality waves, then the east coast and Arugum Bay area would be a better bet as that as August is during the prime season on that side. But really, if this is your kids first time surfing I think that you would find conditions in the southwest to be fine for learning too. Enjoy your trip! Hiii, Thank you so much for this extremely detailed article! Thanks, Gee! So happy you found it helpful. We love Sri Lanka — you live in a beautiful place! Hey, thank you so much for detailed post. What are you thoughts on the surf conditions mid April in A-Bay? Thank you so much! We work with a bunch of awesome surf camps, boutique hotels, and villas in the area and would love to help you book somewhere great to stay! Hey man! Hey Andre! Hey man, Im looking at doing 15 ish days in Sri Lanka in June this year. I read a lot saying that the East coast is the place to be from May to Sept. I plan on going alone, so im hoping theres enough swell in June to keep me busy. We surfed rights in the Aragam Bay area. Hi, I am coming to ahangama on 22 of feb. Hi Eric, Your article has been so helpful. My Fiance and I are headed to Male in July. We want to stay in Sri Lanka a week before to get over jet lab. After your article, I am looking into Argum Bay. I friended Kannan on FB. Do you have any recommendations to stay. We like the boutique hotel. Hi Diana, Great, glad to hear! Yes, I have some recommendations. Great article thanks for the tips! Heading to Sri Lanka for a month next week, starting in Arugam Bay and traveling the coast all the way to Hikkaduwa looking for waves and was wondering if I could get Kannans info for Arugam? Thanks for reaching out. I just sent you an email with some questions. I look forward to connecting. Cheers, Eric. Hi, thanks for a great survey! You could probably still score some fun waves in September in Arugam. I emailed you some questions to get more information about your trip. Happy to help! If so, where on the southwest coast would be best? Hi Jennifer, Yes, you are correct in your understanding. You can still get fun surf that is way less crowded on the SW coast of Sri Lanka in July which is considered to be the off-season. Let us know if you want help finding the perfect place. Great guide! Couple questions — do you know where to find the luxury aircon buses that run from Colombo to Arugam Bay? Trying to find the least painful way to get from the airpot to A bay. Ive read feet, but am also finding mixed reports! Hi Val- Happy you found it helpful! Unfortunately, there is a real lack of transportation information for Sri Lanka, especially for the buses! Did you check out this website? And do you know where you are staying in Arugam Bay? I would ask them for a recommendation, as they help travelers all the time and have the most recent information. Re: swell size in Arugam Bay, obviously it depends on the swell, but the range of 3 — 8 feet sounds about right. May come in August. Have done A-Bay and areas before and had fun but we might hit the SW coast this time. Can you confirm that there will still be a few surfable spots nearby, sheltered from nasty winds?? We tried our luck on the SW coast in August after hitting A-Bay and we did get a couple of fun days at a reef break and some surfable beach break days, but it was definitely slim pickings. The SW coast in August is a roll of the dice! Sweeeeeeet info! Should i bring a board over? Hey Gabriel! And not so sure about buying a motorbike. Hey bro, cool tips, just to double check that I got it right, no point going East chasing waves if im going to be in Sri Lanka the whole of April right? Have an awesome trip! My partner and I are heading to Dikwella next week and are also hoping to find someone with local knowledge who would be available to show us around. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hi Dan, wish I could help you out. The waves are a lot more accessible in the south so I think it would be easier for you to get around and explore if you do a little surf break research. Good luck and hope you score! Hi Nicole, those are some fine breaks you mention. The reef there is pretty mellow but can get shallow on a low tide, just be mindful of urchins. Also, Lazy Rights in Midigama is a mellow reef with deeper water and a channel. Great blog. Just starting my research into a surf trip that will be coming off the back of a few weeks doing humanitarian work in India will be in sir lanka mid December. Im an intermediate level surfer, been surfing for years but im nothing special, could you recommend a back packing route heading south of Colombo? Im a natural so the more lefts the better! Hey Mason, thanks man! Also, would you still recommend surfing the south west coast in mid-late July for an intermediate surfer or are there just way too few breaks at that time? Hi Lucy, yes, of course. Say hello for us! There should still be some alright waves to be found. We surfed there in Aug and had some fun sessions. I was planning to stay at surf and soul but we are little late in booking. Basically a boutique or not luxury escape. Hi Nicole! Cape Weligama is a beautiful luxury property, and Eraeliya Villas and Gardens is also a nice one. Have a wonderful trip! Hi Karine! Our pleasure! When we were in Welligama it was considered to be off season so the place was pretty quiet as a lot of people close up shop for the season. However, you should be good in mid-October with the start of the season right around the corner. Have fun and get some good ones for us! Hey Eric! We are heading to Welligama area mid-October for a month of Sup surfing. Hi Eric Thanks for a very comprehensive article on SL. Im heading there in January. Are there lots of wave spots in the Mirissa area? And yes, there are plenty of breaks in the 10 min drive stretch from Mirissa to Weligama and beyond in both directions! Hi Eric, my family and I want to travel to Sri Lanka for the first time, we want to head to the south west coast, I like the idea of Marissa Bay or similar. What would be the best accommodation options for a surfing family of 7 youngest being 3yrs old. I suppose the best accommodations very much boil down to your personal preference. You might want to check out Number One Mirissa for a boutique hotel at Mirissa Bay or Paradise Beach Club for more of the beachfront resort style offering. Was wondering what spots might work best on the southwest coast during the off season. Appreciate any recommendations, thanks! Hey Zach! Cheers and good luck! Hope you score some fun ones. Planning a surf trip for two months, Oct-Nov. Our dates are inflexible… would you recommend I look elsewhere for October or should we get some surf? Hi Sadie, thanks for reaching out. And then the actual surf season on the southwest coast starts in November so you should be good there. So if you spent Oct around Arugam Bay, and November on the Southwest coast, you could potentially get the best of both worlds! And getting from Colombo to A Bay, least hassle way, taxi??? Cheerz bro. Hey Ryan, thanks for the feedback man, much appreciated. Cheers and good luck brother! Tnx for the extensive blog, great read. I am looking for a local surf guide to show me around and find the best spot in any given condition. Not looking for the usual surf camp experience but just somebody with great local knowledge. Any experience? Tnx already. Hey David, thanks for reaching out, glad liked the article and found it helpful! What area are you looking for a local surf guide in? He is an awesome local guide and just a really cool guy, you can find his contact info is in the other comments. Hi Eric, my family are heading to AB at the endow June. Kannan sounds perfect for us! Could I get his details? Hi Viva, yes, of course. Are you seeing many kitesurfers in Arugam yet? If so when is the Windiest time of year? Cheers John. You can find them on Facebook with upalibeach. We wanted to get a transfer to AB — then try and see if we could rent a car for the rest of our trip — would you recommend this? We quite want some flexibility about where to go after spending 3 days in AB. You might want to try emailing a place like Spice Trail to ask a local resident. I know you can rent a Tuk-Tuk in Arugam Bay if you want to go explore the area. Hope you score your ideal waves! Thinking about heading to Weligama at the end of February for a while, on a big SE asia trip. Sadly, I had to sell my boards in Indo, are there places in weligama or colombo where I can buy a used shortie? If so any idea the cost? I wish I could tell you exactly where to look and how much it might cost but when we were there it was the offseason and so a lot of shops were not open for us to check it out. Hey Rob there are no scooters with surf racks in Arugam Bay as they are trying to protect the local over-priced transport rates. With a surfboard and 2 decent bags.. Will there be taxis at the airport willing to take us to hikkaduwa so early? Or would you recommend trying to organise it beforehand? But it might be less competitive which would mean fewer options and possibly higher prices. Good luck and enjoy! Srilanka is renowned for surfing and additionally the shorelines however a few times the waves are so quick than it is hard to surf so in that circumstance dependably attempt to take direction from the surf instructors they gives the best surfing counsel. Thanks for the comment, I suppose it all really depends on your surfing ability. There are definitely fun waves for all abilities in Sri Lanka, and yes, if you are a beginner it would be helpful to get some proper surf instruction.

10 Things to do in and around Mirissa

Buying blow Mirissa

After we left the hills of Sri Lanka we headed south to the beaches and we were so ready for a few days of the sand between our feet and views of those gorgeous palm trees that hang low over the beaches. Mirissa is known for having one of the best beaches in southern Sri Lanka and for good reason. Along the beach are plenty of restaurants, cafes and resorts which provide sun loungers in the day and tables for dinner at night. Alternatively there are plenty of spots to just chuck your towel down and soak up the rays but be careful because that sun is hot. The walk is a km or two from the main beach and unless the tide is out expect to get a little wet walking along the route. Alternatively you can grab a tuk-tuk along the road and get dropped a few minutes walk from the hill. The hill itself is a little steep to climb but worth it for the views out to the ocean and back to the shore as well as the towering palm trees that cover it. Secret beach is another spot which is tricky to get to and even a tuk-tuk can be reluctant to take you all the way to this one! The effort is fully worth it though as this little secluded bay has gorgeous views of the sun dropping into the ocean and you can sip on a nice cold beer while doing so. Head out onto the rocks at the end of the beach for the best views. The spa is tucked away from the main town among the trees and it just felt so peaceful and calming. This place was one of my favorites we ate at, probably because I love sushi but also because it was so different to most of the other places in Mirissa. The whole place has a huge hippie feel and there were plenty of local cafe staff just hanging out here when we visited late in the afternoon. All their seating is on the floor or in hammocks and there was absolutely no rush for anything. We even got to see a bunch of monkeys playing in the trees around there. Another slightly hidden cafe off the main drag of the town; this place was a very hipster joint and hugely popular. The food was more western style than most places in Mirissa and every table was crammed with people enjoying delicious looking meals. These guys will have a stall set up out front with a selection of fish caught that day and will cook it up fresh for you with a range of sides. We went for this option on our last night and oh my the food was amazing and the portion huge! While in Mirissa we stayed at Banana Garden and had a brilliant stay. We had initially been a little concerned because with this prime location came a noisy road but from our room we could barely hear the traffic. The rooms were painted in pretty colours and the whole place had a cute surf shack kind of feel. The staff were super friendly and the breakfast was served outside on the veranda every morning which was the perfect way to start the day. You can grab a taxi or a tuk-tuk for the drive, we did the latter and it took around 35 minutes to whizz along the coast. However, the next beach round Welligama is and it will only take around 10 minutes to get there. The whole beach is lined with surfing schools wanting to offer hour lessons or board hire. The beach is long and flat meaning there is plenty of space for all those surfboards and the waves are perfect for beginners. Hopefully this list of things to do in and around Mirissa helps you to plan your next trip. Let me know if you have anything to add. Your email address will not be published.
