Sample of Daily Schedule
- 06:00 - Wakeup
Most mornings, you wake up early, and you’ll find sleepy, friendly faces in the common area snacking on bananas and fresh coffee, ready for a morning of surfing. Of course, the time depends on the swell and the tide, but Seaside Tribe lets you know the day before (unless you’ve decided to take a day to sleep in!).
You’ll make the most of the waves, surfing until you are tired and happy, usually stopping for a refreshing young coconut on the beach
- 06:30 - Surf - get into the water
As a group, you’ll go to Baby Point, Elephant Rock, or Peanut Farm. You decide where to go by keeping track of the wave consistency and the traffic at each spot throughout the season.
- 08:30 - Breakfast
This is the favorite part of the day. After a beautiful sunrise surf session, you head back to Arugam Bay for a good breakfast. Breakfast will be local, western, or a combination, and you can accommodate most dietary needs. Typically, you’ll eat as a group, but you are free to go elsewhere if you like.

Go for a bike ride, learn to play Carrom, lie outside and read a book, grab a coconut and relax, get to know new friends, or simply take a nap.
