Quick Facts
Overview
The surf camp is located in the southwest of Sri Lanka, directly on the deserted dream beach of Welhengoda in the Ahangama region. The journey from Colombo Airport to the camp takes about 2.5 hours by car. Here you will find the best surfing conditions from November to March. The nearest major city is called Gale and can be reached in about 30 minutes by car. Enough far away, so that you have the surf sessions without disturbing “crowd”, but close enough to reach the nightlife with the “Tuk-Tuk”.
The location directly on the beach is excellent and especially for surfers a big advantage, because you have the waves in view at any time and can spontaneously sneak into the waves at any time. The sun loungers invite you to relax under the palm trees and cocktails or snacks from the kitchen are served on request.
The camp is aimed at uncomplicated people who are looking for a relaxed time & good surf, while luxury and the European hustle and bustle can stay at home.

Accommodation
Sri Lanka Surfcamp offers simple accommodation in 8 single, double and triple rooms and can accommodate a maximum of 17 people. Each room is equipped with a private bathroom with shower and toilet, fan and mosquito net. Bed linen and towels are changed regularly. The rich breakfast and 6x dinner are included in the weekly rate. For the other meals you will find in the camp a delicious restaurant with local cuisine, where you can have all the consumptions written directly to the room and therefore no cash has to be brought.
Important: As a solo traveller, you have the choice between a divided double room (single beds) or a single room. So there is no shared 3-bed room.
Gastronomy/Entertainment
The house has a restaurant, the kitchen is very clean, the food excellent and especially fresh. Malu – Fish or Tiger Prawns are a specialty. When pre-ordering is also grilled and you can have dinner directly on the beach, with the feet in the sand and the waves of the Indian Ocean in your ear. Drinks preferably water or beer, but absolutely try the Arrak pineapple cocktail – this will probably not be the last. From time to time a small concert is given, but otherwise it is rather quiet.
Surf
Swells that set the reefs of Indonesia to fire continue to migrate through the Indian Ocean to the coast of Sri Lanka, creating the best conditions for beginners and advanced sailors who only come to the water a few weeks a year. The waves vary from fun beach breaks to fast reef spots. The courses are held in English and are taught in two sessions per day (1h per session) in the Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced levels.
The surfboard can be rented cheaply and can also be used before/after the surf course.
