Location

Hide/Show
Hikkaduwa

Hikkaduwa is the main surf destination and attracts surfers from Australia, the UK, Japan, the USA, and many more countries. There are up to four main surf points with clear, warm water in the Hikkaduwa area. Although most of them are reef breaks, none of them are risky. All spots have a deep bottom and flat reef.

The size of the waves range from two to seven feet during the season time. The main point is called the “main reef” which has an “A” frame-shaped wave that surfers can ride both the right-hander and the left-hander. One of the main reasons for Hikkaduwa’s popularity is due to the selection of budget and luxury accommodation.

Hikkaduwa was a fishing village 30 years ago and since the early 1980’s, it has become one of the major tourist attractions in Sri Lanka. Hikkaduwa is famous among tourists for its natural beauty, wide sandy beaches, marine reserves, crystal clear waters, and hot sun.

All of these make it a desired destination on the south coast of Sri Lanka. Tourists stream to Hikkaduwa mainly for the range of water sports like surfing, scuba diving, kite surfing, and much more.

Nearby surf spots

Benny’s — Classic left-hander on a reef break south of Hikkaduwa town, good for more experienced surfers. When the main point goes over six feet, conditions are superb.

The Main Point (main reef) — The island’s most popular surf break with left & right-hander waves; reef-bottomed but safe due to depth. Height ranges from 2–10 feet on a good day. Located ~1.5 km from Hikkaduwa town.

Beach Break — ~100 m south of the main point; ideal for beginners; a mixture of reef that runs through sand bars.

The Rock — ~40 minutes south near Unawatuna; both left-handers and right-handers, though the lefts are often more popular; waves can reach up to eight feet.

Plantation Point — ~50 minutes south in Weligama; perfectly shaped waves with reef break and a lovely right-hander; ideal for beginners as well as the more experienced; up to six feet.

Mirissa — ~1 hour south; respectably sized wave with predominantly sandy bottom and scattered reef; up to five feet.
