Information about Sri Lanka
The Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, previously known as Ceylon, is an island in South East Asia.
The country is famous for the production and export of tea, coffee, coconuts, rubber and cinnamon. The natural beauty of Sri Lanka's tropical forests, beaches and landscape, as well as its rich cultural heritage, make it a world famous tourist destination and its world class waves make it a great destination for a surf holiday.
The capital city is Sri Jayawardenapura-Kotte and its largest city is Colombo (that's right, just like the detective). Its population is now over 20 million and its currency is the Sri Lankan Rupee.

The months stretching from April to October are the time of year that brings the most consistent swells, but onshore winds can be a problem during this time. The best time to go our and surf is in the morning, offshore conditions are much more likely at this time of day. During the surf season you can expect swells from 3-8ft, and at the rest of the year the surf is in the smaller 2-6ft range.
The multiple breaks around Hikkaduwa are rarely flat, and would be a good choice to base a surf trip around.
Check out the surf spots listed here, and add your own if you know of any.
