Ride the waves
with your tribe

The centre of the south coast of Sri Lanka surf scene stretches from Hikkaduwa to Welligama with different waves for all surf levels.

Kabalana beach, the spot in front of the surf house, is right in the middle of this coast and offers fun beginners' waves with multiple peeling peaks. During the quiet swell period of December to March, waist to head-high waves are common and you can often find glassy and dreamy conditions.

No wetsuit needed. Bring a rashguard and a surf hat to protect yourself from the sun !
Avg. water temp
27 - 28 ºC
Crowd factor
Can get crowded at some of the most famous spots but there's often the option to paddle to a less crowded peak
Weather
Warm tropical weather year-round. Swell is generally smaller and more gentle in December to March

I went on a boat trip in the Maldives with Surf Tribe and it was by far the best experience of my life! Everything was planned perfectly from the moment I stood out of the plane to the moment I had to fly back home. Thank you to Gian and Andrea for being such legends and to have made it possible. Can’t wait to do it all over again !

An Expert Breakdown of Surfing Nicaragua in Under 7 Minutes
Nicaragua has quietly become one of the most reliable surf destinations on the planet. Consistent offshore winds, warm water, a long swell window, and a mix of friendly beach breaks and heavier reef setups have put its Pacific coast firmly on the map.
What Responsible Surf Travel Looks Like for The Surf Tribe
Sustainability. Responsibility. Community. You’ve seen these words everywhere and, let’s be honest, they’ve lost a lot of their sharpness. When every brand claims to be “eco” or “responsible”, the words start to blur into background noise.
First Time Surfing? Here’s Everything You Need to Know About Surf Equipment
You’re about to swap office chairs for surfboards, schedules for tides and shoes for sandy feet. And that's good news. But with any surf trip, especially your first, there's always an underlying hum of apprehension. Will the waves be big? What type of people will I meet?
An Expert Breakdown of Surfing Morocco in Under 7 Minutes
Morocco is a land of dreamy right hand point breaks. You know? The kind of waves you ride once and talk about forever. If you're a regular footer it's a surfer's paradise, but backhand-loving goofy footers will also enjoy their time here.
How to read a surf forecast (and why the star rating isn’t enough)
Most surfers glance at the star rating, grab their board and hope for the best. But surf conditions are way more nuanced than star, number or colour ratings. If you’ve ever rocked up to find mush instead of magic, this guide’s for you!
An Expert Breakdown of Surfing in the Azores in Under 7 Minutes
The Azores flies under the radar when it comes to surfing destinations... and we have no idea why. This exceedingly picturesque Portuguese archipelago, nestled in the heart of the Atlantic Ocean, has everything the adventurous surfer could want.
Why Don’t We Reveal and Name Secret Breaks or Surf Spots?
One part of that culture is knowing that some surf spots are best left hidden. it’s about protecting what makes those places special and respecting the locals who surfed them long before Google Maps and geotags ever existed.

Surfing in the Maldives Central Atolls in October / November
The end of shoulder season doesn't mean the end of waves in the Central Atolls of the Maldives. It just means less crowding and humbler waves - save for the occasional freak swell that sneaks in.
An Expert Breakdown of Surfing the Maldives in Under 7 Minutes
Surfing in the Maldives is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. With over 1,190 islands scattered across the warm Indian Ocean, the Maldives is a surfer’s paradise no matter what type of board you ride. Think perfect waves, tropical backdrops and reef setups that fire on all cylinders...
