Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent 

Alright, Rusty here for the imperial version. Let's get real about Hikkaduwa.

Honestly, the outlook is brutal. We've got relentless onshore and cross-onshore winds from the West howling at 15 to 16 mph for days on end, and thunderstorms threatening to rain on the already sad parade. The water's a normal 83.5°F, but that's about the only thing that's average.

The first week is not worth a paddle. Friday July 3rd is a dud. Saturday and Sunday serve up waist-high swell but it's all wind-chop and white water – no shape, no joy. Monday through Wednesday see the swell climb past 5.5 ft with wave energy hitting the 1300s and 1700s, but the wind doesn't let up. It's just bigger, messier, and uglier.

Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th of July see the swell peaking around 7.2 ft with energy over 2200, but it's still cross-onshore and choppy. You're better off watching from the beach. The only time the forecast even whispers "marginal" is around the 17th and 18th of July. On Friday the 17th, we get a big 5.9 ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period and a huge 2230 energy rating. The wind is still on the nose, but that's a lot of ocean moving. The 18th follows with 5.6 ft and a 16-second period.

What's the best of a bad bunch? That window on the 17th and 18th of July is the only real power in the whole forecast. The optimum swell direction for Hikkaduwa (A-Frame) is SW, and that's what we get, but with onshore winds on a reef, it'll be a foamy, lumpy mess. Over 4.9 ft it's expert territory anyway. Crowds are "often" here, and they'll still be out, but they'll be scratching heads.

There's no clean, glassy, or offshore session in sight. This is a kiteboarder's dream and a surfer's nightmare. A massive gap with nothing but junk. Keep the board in the bag.

Information about the Hikkaduwa (A-Frame) Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Hikkaduwa (A-Frame) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hikkaduwa (A-Frame) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hikkaduwa (A-Frame) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Hikkaduwa (A-Frame)) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Hikkaduwa (A-Frame) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
