The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk straight. What we have is a pretty tough run for the Hikkaduwa area, mainly at Hikkaduwa (A-Frame) (Sri Lanka).

To be blunt, the next couple of weeks look like a write-off for decent surf. The issue isn’t a lack of swell—we’ve got plenty of energy coming through. But the problem is the wind. For the entire 16-day outlook, we’re looking at strong, onshore, and cross-onshore winds—mostly a 15 to 19 mph breeze from the west. This trashy wind is going to wreck any chance of clean, rideable waves. The wave state descriptions keep telling us the same story: “fresh cross-onshore and lumpy” or “moderate cross-onshore and choppy.” It’s just messy out there.

This is a long stretch with zero quality on offer; from the start on Monday the 27th of July, right through to the end of the window, there’s no recommendation from me. We’re talking about more than two weeks of poor conditions for conventional paddling.

Because of the consistent strong, onshore wind, the surf quality is always rated as poor. Honestly, with that much wind and swell running (like around 7 ft that’s predicted around the 2nd and 3rd of August, or the strong swell on the 11th of August), the setup here starts to look much more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. The consistent cross-onshore wind is a kite’s best friend, not a surfer’s.

So, to sum it up: the next 16 days are a blank. No standouts. The wind is the killer here. You’re better off waiting for the next forecast cycle to see if things settle down. Keep an eye on it, but for now, give it a miss.

Rusty.
