Hi everyone! As you might know if you have lived in the Canary Islands, locals have always gone abroad to discover new waves and surfing spots. Since the late 1980’s plenty of surfers went to Indonesia so currently many locals have surfed in Mentawai Islands, Lombok, Gili Trawangan, Bali, etc, but Indonesia is not as trendy as before in terms of surfing because it has become an over-touristic place, Bali has plenty of surfing spots for example but they are crowded. So which is the place to go right now? Which country has good waves, less people, plenty of surfing spots and is particular for its beauty, wildness and culture ? SRI LANKA ! Take a look at this video first:
According to wannasurf.com , Sri Lanka has good waves, offshore winds and is cheap to travel inside. On the other hand, there is pollution, localism and rests of the civil war on their people. They recommend good travel advice before going to Sri Lanka in 2017.
But where are the best surfing spots in Sri Lanka? The best website that really deserves a mention as before is wannasurf.com as they have the most amount of information about Sri Lanka’s surfing on the Internet. They even have a list with a score for each beach and wave, direction of wave, type of wave, frequency and level of experience. You can take a look at it here. You can rank surf spots by Quality and that is what I’ve done to get this list and write it down for you. If you disagree, please tell us your opinion, our only intention is to inform people about Sri Lanka’s best surfing spots but there are many more than on this list, we from Atlantik Surf recommend to see them all if possible:
