Make friends with the locals. There are many other places to surf in the vicinity, but you need local help when venturing outside the main city. Also, Sri Lanka is in the middle of a civil war and the east coast of the country is on the frontline. Just a reminder.
Overview
Atmosphere
This is an international surf destination, equipped with all the things you would expect. The australian contingency is powerful. It's is a very poor region of Sri Lanka, power shortages and water shortages are common. Thank god for the surf bungalows and western surf influence.
General
Great, with tons of possibility for adventuring to other spots nearby with no crowds. The food is amazing.
"3" is the biggest I saw on my stay."
