@@enrique5604 Nope, too early. Usually as of end October - mid-November spots in the South start to work. But reefs like Rams take longer time. In 2022 it only started working in December. So if you're going in September - definitely Abay

@@enrique5604 What to do around Arugambay: definitely a Safari to Kumana National park to see wild elephants, buffalos, leopards and many more; On the way to/from Abay go through Kandy (old capital of the Kingdom), visit tea capital - Nuwara Eliya. Take the old train ride from Nuwara Eliya to Ella among tea plantations - it's considered one of the most scenic in the world for a reason! Stay a night in Ella: see little Adam's peak, 9 arch bridge, enjoy mountains and some party. Re: B&Bs advice to check booking and do it soon cause September is high season, you wanna book your accommodation in advance. P.S. the video you watched here is mine:) I live in SL since 2018 and shoot surfing since then :)

I've surfed there. The swell is consistant. For the wave itself, the video speaks better than words. A very good atmosphere. Local people are very kind, the place has an authenticity that is difficult to find on popular surf spots nowadays. Fishing plays a great role for people from the coast. Hard workers loving what they do, a lot of tradition and ingeniosity. The mix of religions living now together after years of war is also very interresting. A beautiful country with a handfull of surf points of excellent quality. 🤙

Thanks Robert! Thats amazing when people visiting Sri Lanka give back to the community. And years back it was such a hustle to get hands on a surf board, so for sure you did great thing! Slowly Sri Lanka reopens to travelers and it's easy to get back especially if your vaccinated. Come back when you get a chance, you'd be surprised how the place's changed over the years, but waves are still just as great!
