Plus: good fun waves, offshore winds during the monsoon, cheap travel.The season at the west-east (hikkaduwa, midigama etc) is from nov-march and then at the east coast (arugam bay) it's from may-sept.
Minus: Fickle swells and winds, pollution, localism, Suffering a major civil war which is no longer contained in the Northern provinces. Get good travel advice before going!
The surf in Sri Lanka is there on the whole south coast. there are heaps of places that pic up the swell and provide up to 3ft of good quility waves, if you want the good stuff youll have to go in season Jan/Feb. Sri Lanka is average in all departments, the surf the people the vibe everything. Some days are good in the water but if everyone who goes there is honest it is crowded. The local surfers are pretty good and are getting more and more aggro towards foreigners each season,

Peanut Farm - Just south of A-Bay, there's a great place that's not easy to find called Peanut Farm -- great spot. If you ask the tukk tukk drivers in A-Bay, they know where it is. Best surf on the east coast, and a great place to take pic's, as the main break is right directly in front of a massive rock that juts out into the sea -- no chance of hitting the rock, the roll right is awesome...

Dunstan - Hey, one pretty cool place to check out in Hikk's is Dunstan Surfwear, they have a shop on Galle Rd. and a tailor shop at Time Travels. Custom made boardies, where you pick the fabrics and make the design yourself. Mine look awesome, and it was a blast to create them with Dunstan (one of the first surfers in Sri Lanka). He told me they now have an online site: www.dunstansurfwear.com where you can design online and they'll ship your design to you house (free shipping too). If you're in Hick's a decent place to stay and eat is the Coral Sands.. pretty ressonable and clean. Citrus is nice if you're not on a budget..!! Off to A-Bay....
