The Lowdown
Right, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is: the next sixteen days around Hikkaduwa are a total bust for any decent surf. There’s no window where things line up, and the wind just won’t let up.
From the get-go on Thursday the 3rd, the ocean’s got a lot of power – a strong to very strong combined swell energy of 1299, with waves hitting 6 feet from the SSW. But the wind’s blowing straight onshore from the WSW at 12 mph, so the surface is going to be a total washout. That pattern sticks around. Every single morning and afternoon from the 3rd right through the 18th is plagued by stormy rains and either onshore or cross-onshore winds.
The surf at Hikkaduwa (A-Frame) – that beginner-friendly reef – will be a letdown. The swell is hanging around, moving between 3 feet and 6 feet, but the water’s a warm 83°, which is about normal for this time of year. With the wind being a constant problem, the wave quality is just poor. The swell periods are mostly from the SSW, bouncing from a short 10 seconds up to a very long 22 seconds, which would be a treat for a point or reef, but with the wind ruining it, it’s just a choppy, lumpy mess.
There aren’t any flat spells, just day after day of poor, blown-out conditions. To be honest, this whole setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The winds are fresh to moderate, and the swell has enough juice to get moving, but for a surfer, it’s a long, blank run. Don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but this one looks stubborn.
Rusty.
