About Arugam Bay
Arugam Bay is a village on the east coast of Sri Lanka, and it is one of the best known surfing places in the country. The main wave, usually called Main Point, wraps around a rocky point at the southern end of the bay and runs to the right as a surfer rides it towards the shore, and it is generally described as long rather than powerful, and suited to surfers with some experience. Several other spots lie along the coast nearby, among them Whiskey Point, Peanut Farm and Elephant Rock. The season here is the opposite of the island's south-west coast: the best surf usually arrives from around May to September, when the wind blows offshore on this side. The village is small, with a single main road of guesthouses, cafés and surf shops, and wildlife parks lie nearby.
