Dewata Surf Guide

Dewata in West Sri Lanka is a fairly exposed point break that has fairly consistent surf. Offshore winds are from the northeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Groundswells and windswells are equally likely and the ideal swell direction is from the south southwest. The point break provides left and right handers. Good surf at all stages of the tide. A remote wave spot that never gets crowded. The water quality here is rather suspect.
