Surf in Beach Break | Weligama

Overview: Beach Break | Weligama

Weligama’s broad bay is Sri Lanka’s classic learner beach break—a sand-bottom playground with long, soft reforming waves and dozens of surf schools. It’s forgiving for first-timers on small days, while the outer banks offer longer rides for progressing surfers.
