Pottuvil Point surf guide

Pottuvil Point is a surf spot located in Sri Lanka, known for its long rides and unique wave shape. It's a popular destination for surfers looking for a relaxing session away from the more crowded spots. The area around Pottuvil Point features a beautiful coastal environment, with opportunities for both experienced surfers and those looking to improve their skills.

The waves at Pottuvil Point can offer some decent sessions, especially when conditions line up. The best swell direction is from the Southeast, but it can also manage swells coming from the North and South. The spot can handle swell sizes as small as 1ft (0.3m), and the wave breaks over sand. As for the wave type, it's primarily a point break that rolls to the right. The wind is best from the Southwest, and the tide can be good at low, mid, or high levels. Keep in mind that A-Bay needs to be around 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) for Pottuvil to really start breaking, making it a spot with low consistency for larger swells.

If you're looking to avoid crowds, there's another point just a short 700m walk to the north that also offers surfable conditions, although the rides there tend to be shorter. It's also a good spot for intermediate surfers looking to challenge themselves without dealing with heavy crowds.
