If you love the feeling of the sun on your back and the freedom that comes with riding the waves, then surfing in Arugam Bay should definitely be on the top of your list when visiting Sri Lanka. Before heading to this idyllic coastal area make sure to find accommodation at one of the Arugam Bay hotels in the region. Kottukal Beach House is one such option and this boutique villa Sri Lanka has to offer makes a perfect base for your surfing adventures.
Tucked away along the island’s Southeast Coast, Arugam Bay is also home to fishing villages where one can experience a laidback way of life. However, its most popular draw is the excellent surf waves on offer which provide a thrilling outing in the sun and surf. The period during the southwest monsoon is known to create ideal swells with July and August generally the peak months for surfers. The main surfing hotspot is Arugam Point with breaks getting as big as 6 feet. Another popular surfing spot which can be found nearby is Pottuvil Point, ideally set against the backdrop of a relatively isolated stretch of beach.
