Solas Surf
Reviews (1)
5 out of 5

A world to class surf retreat combining a beach villa experience with the thrills of surfing one of Sri Lanka's most sought after locales. We are footsteps from the waves on a secluded beach. there are a variety of waves for all levels, from long and slow whitewater waves for beginners to more challenging A to frame at the Rock for advanced surfers.

We provide a range of comforts and modern amenities to make your stay as stress to free and convenient as possible. Our tastefully appointed rooms are spacious and filled with light. Each opens out into either a large deck that affords breathtaking views of the ocean or spills out in lush green gardens. You can relax and unwind with yoga in the light of brilliant sunrises and sunsets, meditate in complete tranquillity or simply read a book and soak up the sun on the sprawling deck or garden.

Location

The Southwestern town of Ahangama is a hidden treasure, home to some of the best surf beaches in Sri Lanka. Uncrowded waves for every level of surfer can be found here, from beginners to experts, with ideal conditions for both long and short boarding. Kabalana “The Rock” with its perfect A frame breaks, is one of its most famous swells.

Beaches in Sri Lanka conjure pictures of golden sand and warm waters and Ahangama is no different. Frequently featured in surf magazines and tropical photoshoots, the swells of Ahangama are widely considered among the best in Sri Lanka and Solas Surf is perfectly nestled along the coast with a private beach spanning 800M.

The Southwestern coastal town of Ahangama is emerging as one of the island’s hidden treasures with its secluded waves and the picturesque charm of its fishing community. Our surf camp is located directly in front of one of the best surf spots in Sri Lanka, while to our right rises the famous swell Kabalana, or “The Rock”.

Surf Guide

We can take you to all the secret spots in the area so you can surf the perfect waves on your trip


Winter Season

Level: All Levels

(December to April)
These dry months are considered the high season, with cooler temperatures, ideal offshore winds and waves up to 2 to 6 feet in height. This is considered the high season. We have our own beach front and the surf is good in front of the villa for both beginners and intermediate levels. For more experienced surfers there is “The Rock”. We also know a few other spots around here which are less known and off the beaten track and will be a good change up during your week. The winter season is ideal for beginners or intermediate surfers

Summer Season

Level: All Levels

(April to October)
The low season is slightly warmer with occasional monsoon rains, waves swelling between 2 to 8 feet with both onshore and offshore winds. The summer seasons are less crowded, and the waves are still great for beginners. Rain if any, is quite sporadic and does not typically go on all day. Most guests welcome the colder breeze and the soothing calm that follows.

Shoulder Seasons

Level: All Levels

(October/November & late April)
By mid to October offshore winds and the swells rise to between 4 – 8 feet. This inter to monsoonal period has occasional heavy rain but leaves the environs lush and cool. Most surfers say this is an excellent time to be here as its lush and green, not too hot, not so busy, and the surf is pumping.

In late April the waves begin to swell again between 2 to 8 feet but are uncrowded and unaffected by monsoons.
