The conditions for surfing are at their best from November to April. The Wewala and Narigama areas of the beach have a handful of tame reef breaks as well as a beach break, all of which are perfect for beginner- to intermediate-level surfers. These waves, combined with the relatively energetic nightlife, have made Hikkaduwa the most popular surf spot in Sri Lanka.
Most guesthouses and several dedicated surf shops rent out surfboards for around Rs 400 per hour, and there are several places offering surf lessons, but pick carefully because the ‘teachers’ at some of the better-known surf schools are more interested in looking cool than teaching.
