Overview: Surfing at Panama Point
Panama Point, located in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka, is a hidden gem that offers a less crowded alternative to more popular surf spots like Arugam Bay. This river mouth point break breaks to the right and works on all tides. The spot is known for longer rides on good days, with the wave quality improving when the swell is just right. While the bottom is a mix of sand and rocks, which provides some challenge, it’s still accessible and enjoyable for intermediate and pro surfers. The lack of crowds means surfers can enjoy a quieter, more relaxed experience, but caution is advised due to the mixed bottom.
