All said, the best time to surf in the south coast of Sri Lanka depends on the skill level and preference. The climate and crowds ebb and flow with the monsoons but there are great wave conditions for beginners and experienced surfers most of the time in the South Coast of Sri Lanka.
Solas Surf is ideally located on an excellent surf break. Conditions are surfable almost all year round. One of the reasons for this is that we are located where the South West meets South East so wed on’t get the worst of the low season and waves can still be good through out the year whether you area beginner or already riding green waves.
Even though conditions are surfable we split the calendar into three buckets of Peak,Semi-Peak and Quiet. Whilst this normally follows tourist arrivals, they also have some correlation to conditions related to rain and importantly wind direction,which is vital for surf conditions. Off shore winds occur during the Peak months of November, December, January, February, March & April and prove to be the best time.
