The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Hikkaduwa, and to be honest, the story is a real bummer. We’ve got a 16-day window, but the first proper surf recommendation doesn’t show up until the very end. There’s a massive gap from now, right through until Friday the 25th of September, where the conditions are just poor. This is a rough run, and it’s not one of those times where you can hold out hope for a quick change; it’s a long, flat spell.

Let’s start with the little we do have. The first hint of anything rideable is on Friday the 25th of September, early. We’re looking at Hikkaduwa (A-Frame) in Hikkaduwa. That morning, we’ve got a small 3 ft SSW groundswell, but with a very long 20-second period. The combined swell energy is moderate (1176), but the wind is a fresh onshore breeze from the west at 18 mph, so it’ll be messy. The water temp is 84°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, if that’s any consolation.

That Saturday morning the 26th is a little better. The swell picks up to 5 ft from the SSW, still with a decent 18-second period, and the energy is moderate (1776). But again, the wind is onshore from the west at 15 mph. It’s still not clean. The whole run is plagued by cross-onshore and onshore winds, lots of risk of thunderstorms, and the forecasters are calling it all “poor surf conditions.” There’s no real stand-out window here.

For a beginner spot, the swell never really gets too big – it tops out around 7 ft on a couple of days, but the quality is just not there. Because of the persistent onshore wind and the consistent cross-onshore chop, this setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might get a few on Saturday the 26th, but you’ll be battling the chop.

Honestly, save your energy. This is a blank run for the area, and it’s not uncommon to see stretches like this.

Rusty.
