Whiskey Point Surf Spot Guide — Southeast Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka | Lineup

Whiskey Point is a renowned surf spot near Arugam Bay in southeast Sri Lanka. The point produces mellow, long right-hand waves that are perfect for beginners and intermediates, especially during the main surf season. The sandy-bottom setup with occasional rocks ensures a more forgiving environment than most reef breaks. Early mornings usually provide the cleanest conditions, while afternoons can get windy. The lineup can get crowded during peak months, so patience and respect are essential. Local surf schools and board rentals are readily available on the beach.

Long rights that forgive the learning curve over sand and scattered stone.

◉ Surf forecast

Decent surf 9am–1pm, knee to waist. Light offshore the whole window. Peak about 10am Mid-tide dropping at peak.
