Kirinda surf guide

Kirinda is a surf spot located along the southern coast of Sri Lanka. It's known for its laid-back vibe, and while it's not the most popular surfing destination, it offers some unique features. The area has a bit of history too, with treasures discovered off the Great Basses Reef from shipwrecks nearby. The jetties here provide a spot for some straightforward, clean peeling waves, making it a decent choice for those looking to catch some fun rides.

The surf at Kirinda can accommodate swells from different directions, but the optimal direction is Southeast. You can expect swells ranging from 1 ft (about 0.3 meters) and it generally breaks over sand, which is beginner-friendly. The waves here can break left and right, giving surfers some options when they paddle out. The best time to surf is during low to mid tide, while the preferred wind direction is from the Northwest. While the waves are relatively easy to ride, onshore winds can sometimes keep the crowd down, and it won’t be the most thrilling ride for more advanced surfers.

Overall, Kirinda can be a good option for beginners looking to practice their skills or for surfers who want a chill spot without too many crowd hassles. Just keep an eye on the wind conditions and remember that the place can be pretty mellow most of the time.
