The best time of year to surf in Arugam Bay is from May to October.

During these months, the east coast monsoon season brings consistent swells and offshore winds, creating ideal conditions for surfing. Arugam Bay’s main point break comes alive, offering long, clean right-handers perfect for both intermediate and advanced surfers. It’s also the peak season for the local surf scene, with vibrant energy, surf competitions, and great weather.

Not at all! We welcome all levels—from complete beginners to advanced surfers. Our instructors tailor lessons to match your skill level and goals.

Our packages typically include surf lessons, board rental, accommodation, daily breakfast, and optional yoga sessions. Transport to surf spots and video analysis may also be included.

We recommend bringing swimwear, sunscreen, a towel, flip-flops, and a reusable water bottle. We provide all surf equipment, but you’re welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

"Had an amazing time on the 2 week course that was run in Aragum bay, the accommodation had great food and a lovely pool, located right on the main strip with not even a 100m walk to the beach, the surf instructors also did an amazing job helping me improve catching bigger waves and finding which boards suit me best. Will definitely be back next year."
