Surf in Ketature Beach Surf Point

Overview: Ketature Beach Surf Point

Tucked along the coast near Weligama, Ketature Beach Surf Point is a shallow reef setup that offers both
left and right walls when a solid swell lines up. It’s quieter than the main bay, with clearer take-off zones and playful sections.
Best on a mid to mid-high tide with S–SW groundswells, it suits intermediate–advanced surfers who are confident around reef.

• Bathymetry: Patchy reef with sandy pockets; defined channels for paddling when the tide is right.
• Conditions: Cleanest on N–NE/offshore mornings; a touch of tide adds cushion over the inside.
• Hazards: Very shallow on low tide, urchins, and sharp reef cuts—avoid low tide entries.
• Boards: Performance shortboards and mid-lengths; fish/twins on smaller days.
