About Destination

Arugam Bay: The Eastern Surf Capital

Arugam Bay is a world-class surfing destination located on the dry, southeastern coast of Sri Lanka. It features famous surf breaks, a laid-back bohemian vibe, and proximity to wildlife-rich parks like Kumana. The town is small and walkable. Unlike the south coast, the best season here is from May to September, when the western monsoons are active. It is the ultimate destination for surfers and travelers looking for a chill, off-the-grid coastal experience during the middle of the year.

May to September
