Surf Hikkaduwa

Welcome to Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka’s legendary surf town where reef and beach breaks roll in with warm Indian Ocean swell, and the laid-back rhythm of life flows as easily as the tides. With wave-friendly weather, golden sands, and a vibrant coastal culture, Hikkaduwa is the perfect base for surfers looking to drop in on their own terms. This is the kind of trip where the surfboard is your compass, and the days are yours to shape.

Our Just Surf package is built for independent surfers who travel with their own equipment and prefer to roam freely. You’ll get airport transfers with surfboards in mind, a stylish beachfront hotel, and all the time in the world to chase the tide, explore the coast, and surf when the conditions align. From mellow beach breaks to punchy reef peaks, Hikkaduwa offers ideal waves for every session, and nearby spots like Narigama or Midigama only add to the variety.

But this trip isn’t just about the surf, it’s about connection. In between sessions, you’ll experience the rich cultural fabric of southern Sri Lanka. Explore the cobbled streets of UNESCO-listed Galle Fort, where colonial history and modern charm collide in art galleries, boutique cafés, and ocean-view ramparts. Drift through mangrove-lined waterways on a boat safari along the Madu River, passing cinnamon islands and tiny fishing villages. And don’t miss the highlight, a hands-on cooking experience with a local family, where you’ll learn to prepare traditional Sri Lankan dishes with fragrant spices, cracked coconut, and warm hospitality straight from the heart.

The surf stays consistent from November to April, with clean offshore winds and comfortable water temps averaging 27°C year-round. You’ll be staying at a carefully selected beachfront boutique Roman Beach hotel in Hikkaduwa, just steps from the waves. Each room includes air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and views that make it easy to check the swell while sipping your morning tea. With surf shops, cafés, and local life all around you, it’s a dream setup for surf-focused travellers who still want to stay connected to the energy of the town.

Whether you spend your afternoons soaking up the sun, discovering Sri Lanka’s coastal culture, or finding that perfect reef to paddle out alone, this is a trip designed to let you breathe. It’s about surfing your own path, with a taste of local life to enrich the ride.

With OCEAN FEVER’s Just Surf Hikkaduwa, you’ll get waves, warmth, culture, and total freedom, no schedules, no lessons, just the perfect blend of independence and unforgettable experience.
