Surf Camps in Weligama

Sri Lanka is a paradise for all surfers. One reason for this is Weligama, the surfing mecca on the south coast of the island. Whether you want to learn to surf, ride your first reef waves or challenge yourself with fast, steep waves, Weligama offers a wide range of surf spots for all levels.

The name Weligama comes from Sinhalese and translates as ‘sand village’ (Weli = sand and Gama = village). This name couldn't be more fitting: a two-kilometre-long sandy beach awaits you along the coast of Weligama. In and around this long bay, you will find the various surf spots, which we will introduce to you in more detail below. This will give you a better idea and help you quickly understand why Weligama is one of the hotspots for surfers around the world.

Surf spots for beginners - gentle beach breaks for learning to surf

Weligama is the perfect choice for all beginners. The reason for this are the various beach breaks where gentle waves break on sandy ground. On the one hand, it's perfect for practising how to stand up and make your first turns. On the other hand, you can fall without worrying and be sure that you will fall gently and not land on one of the many reefs. The best surf spots for beginners are the following:

• Weligama Bay: The endless sandy beach is the best-known and most popular surf spot for beginners. Here you will find countless peaks that produce gentle, long waves - a dream come true for learning to surf.
• Jungle Beach: The smaller version of Weligama Bay, but quieter. The small, sheltered bay also offers gentle waves breaking over sand, which are ideal for all beginners. In addition, the atmosphere here is particularly relaxed. 
• Turtle Bay: A beautiful sandy beach, also known for its gentle waves, which are forgiving of beginners' mistakes and therefore the perfect playground for learning to surf. As an absolute highlight, you even have the chance to see turtles here, making your surfing session truly unforgettable.

As you can see, Weligama is really the perfect choice for all beginners. Click here for surf camps for beginners in Weligama.

Surf Spots for Intermediates - Improve Your Technique in Long Waves

Have you already had your first experiences at surf camps in Europe or elsewhere in the world and dream of perfect tropical waves? Then Weligama is the perfect choice for you, as it offers a variety of long waves that are ideal for working on your technique and surfing the longest waves of your life. Here are our suggestions for surf spots for intermediates:

• Lazy Left: Located in Weligama Bay, this surf spot is a dream for developing your own style and working on your turns. As the name suggests, Lazy Left is a left-hand wave that offers a friendly take-off. After that, you can expect a long ride – perhaps even the longest of your life. 
• Coconut Point: Although the name sounds just as relaxed as Lazy Left, Coconut Point is more challenging and therefore ideal for the next step. The surf spot is a point break with more powerful waves that break both left and right. What you definitely won't forget is the setting: as you sit in the warm water, you can look out at the many coconut palms on the dream beach.
• Plantation Point: Another well-known surf spot in Weligama Bay. Here you can experience a lot in one wave: the point break offers both right- and left-hand waves, which, depending on the tide, have everything to offer from long turns to barrel sections.
