Plan Your Surf Trip to Arugam Bay
About Arugam Bay Surfing
Arugam Bay on Sri Lanka's east coast is one of Asia's best-kept surf secrets, offering long point breaks, a relaxed hippie-surf vibe, and access to some of the continent's least crowded waves. The main break at Pottuvil Point fires April through September, with consistent right-handers peeling for up to 300 metres. Combine with a Sri Lanka wildlife safari or cultural triangle tour for an epic trip.
