Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Hikkaduwa.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window looks pretty grim. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions stretching from Friday the 10th of July all the way through to the end of the month. There’s no standout day, no sneaky good session to get excited about. The wind is the main culprit here, hammering out of the west consistently, leaving the surf choppy and onshore or cross-onshore almost every single day. This is a tough stretch for the area.

We start things off on Friday the 10th with a solid 7ft swell from the WNW, but that’s completely ruined by a 16 mph cross-on westerly wind. The wave energy is moderate (1705), but the conditions are just messy. That same pattern repeats day after day. The swell direction through the first week is mostly from the W or WNW, with periods around 10-11 seconds, but the wind never lets up. By Monday the 13th, the period drops to 7 seconds in the morning, which is just junky, short-period windswell, and the water temp is about average for the time of year.

The second week offers no real relief. The swell direction shifts more to the SSW and S, and the periods start to get longer, into the 14-19 second range, which would normally be exciting. A long period like that (15 seconds or more) can mean proper groundswell, but it’s a double-edged sword here. At a reef break like Hikkaduwa (A-Frame), that long period could actually be a bonus, but it doesn’t matter because the wind just won’t cooperate. Moderate westerly breezes keep things messy. The wave energy does pick up – on the 22nd of July, we see a strong 2022 in the morning – but it’s still accompanied by that “poor surf conditions” tag. The crowd profile at this break is “often,” so you’d be dealing with company and poor waves.

If you’re desperate for a paddle, the late afternoons on the 20th and 21st of July at least get a “marginal” rating of 1 out of 10, but that’s a low bar. The best advice I can give you is to leave the surfboard at home and maybe look for another activity. This blank run is pretty normal for this area when the trade winds set in like this.

Rusty.
