Surf en Jungle Beach | Walliwala

Overview: Jungle Beach | Walliwala

Hidden just south of Weligama, Jungle Beach at Walliwala is a secluded cove with reef setups offering both left and right-hand waves.
Framed by red cliffs and palm trees, this spot feels more off-the-beaten-path compared to the main Weligama bay, making it a favorite for those seeking fewer crowds and a more natural setting.
The waves can peel for 400–500 m on the right swell, with fun sections for carving and flowing turns.
Best suited to intermediate–advanced surfers who are comfortable with reef breaks and local currents.

• Batimetría: Reef platform with sandy pockets; channels provide paddle-out options.
• Condiciones: Clean mornings with N–NE/costa afuera winds; mid-tide helps smooth takeoffs.
• Peligros: Shallow reef, urchins, and occasional strong currents—reef booties recommended.
• Tableros: Mid-lengths and performance shortboards are popular; fun with twins on smaller days.
