Hey Dan, are the spots you mentioned reef breaks? Should I be concerned about sea urchins and such? Do you suggest bringing some kind of padding to my foot (water shoes)(diving shoes) to protect?

Heading to Lanka in late March...will it be better in the south west or over in Aragum area in the east at this time of year? Cheers. Really appreciate the content.

Great video! Would you recommend going to Sri Lanka in april as an intermediate-semi-advanced surfer, preferably right hand point breaks?

[wanderlustasia]

Nice one mate it's a great spot for an old guy like me to get back into surfing!

On the other of Parrot Rock (West) is actually the best surf break in Mirissa, not sure why its never talked about online. It’s not unknown or anything, more surfers there than the point break mentioned in this video and its a better wave overall. It goes left.

Personally I found getting a little scooter with surfboard rack on the best way to get around. You highlighted the main breaks there but there are loads more to be discovered up the coast and if the conditions line up you can snag a much quieter break or even empty if you are prepared to put the time into explore

Thanks for the video I will be there in Jan. Was before in 2020 are there still loads of surfboard rental places with solid board selection? Need to decide if I should bring my own boards or rent in the area. Would be looking at shortboards or performancy midis/twinys.

Thanks for posting! I'm heading to Weligama, and Midigama in early March. Hope the waves hold up that late in the season? I'm looking to advance to more a solid intermediate stage.

Been there twice its an awesome place. One thing i will mention thats well worth a visit for the hungry surfer. Near to Galle which is a bit of a tuk tuk ride away there is a hotel/spa called the Fortress. They do an all you can eat buffet meal nights which are epic. Especially the curry night. Good value and amazing food in the most amazing venue. You will get treated like kings and queens so if you want to treat yourself to a fantastic evening of food and drink i recommend you go here. Smart/casual surfer clothes are ok.

Jungle Beach is a small reef break between Plantations and Weligama that might be worth mentioning. Although I have heard of hazards like low tide, and sea urchins.

[leghdavies]

No mention of Polhena - no crowds every time i've been there -probably not good for beginners though.

Worst thing about SLK is the doof doof allnighters that drown out any sleep in a 300m radius. Everywhere i went had some problem with the noise .Volume 10x. It sucked unfortunately.

If you want to buy your very own on the beach luxury villa (huge 4 bedroom 4 bathroom 8000sqft) right on Midigama beach then let me know and I’ll send you the details. Brand new, ultra luxurious and perfect for surf lovers. $2, 000, 000 inc taxes (turnkey and a great rental investment with super high yields)
