Ranga looks forward to welcoming you very much, and to talking and relaying the many things that he has learned in life, and at the same time learning too.
Location
This surf camp will take place at My Surf Camp Surf School in Weligama, Sri Lanka. The camp is located on the beach that will give you easy access to the surfing spots. It is also less crowded, giving you a hassle-free time to learn surfing properly or enjoy the waves to the fullest. As well as sunrise surf, the sunset surf is the most awesome experience to do.
Jungle Beach surf spot Weligama
Jungle beach is between Weligama and Midigama and is tucked away from the main road so you have to look for it, best to stay local, there are some great guest houses nearby. Overlooked by Super Luxury, Cape Weligama Hotel, not so many surfers staying here so it’s great at daybreak before any other surfers turn up from 7:00 a.m.
Main left-hand break with a similar form to Lazy Left Midigama only not as lazy, and a right that works well January-March. The left holds to 7ft with, long 500m rides. Mainly deep but has a very shallow reef in parts, so check with a local if you’re not sure and it can be a bit gnarly in the rough sea.
Weligama Beach surf spot - beach break
Surrounded by golden beaches, excellent warm water, and surfing conditions, Sri Lanka has become popular among surfers from all over the world in recent years. My Surf Camp Surf School is located right in the epicenter of 10 surf spots for all surfing levels within four-kilometer distance in either direction. The best surf spots of the country are just on the beach surf camp.
Mirissa Beach Surf Spot
Mirissa is now a well-known surf spot situated in the district of Matara in close proximity to Weligama. Some call this spot Urchin Feast in honor of the urchin that will poke your feet if you go out the wrong way. The surf spot is located on the right end of the beach where you will find many guest houses and restaurants. There is a channel through which you can paddle to the lineup.
Since it’s a point reef break, you do not have to go to the last lineup to catch waves; there are plenty of inside ones. The easiest way to get in is around the big rock before the spot. The right start at the end of boulders, the further you go the longer you ride will be. It is an easy wave but you will have to get some speed in order to pass the sections. When it gets to 4 feet the left will start to show up about 80 from the big rock and is a punchy fun wave to ride. The only thing you have to be careful for is the get out of the water part.
Mirissa also has a beach break ideal for beginners and boogy boarding and works best close to full moon days. When the surf’s not up, Mirissa is good for snorkeling, fishing and one of the best places to go Dolphin watching during the whale season Nov - April.
