G'day, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with ya – this isn't one for the quiver. The whole 16-day window for Hikkaduwa looks like a write-off. It's a real bummer because this place can pump, but right now the cards are stacked against us.

Starting from Sunday the 5th of July right through to Monday the 20th of July, it's pretty much a flat run of poor conditions. The wind is locked in from the West, hitting the coast as a cross-onshore or even a full onshore breeze, which is gonna turn the ocean into a lumpy, choppy mess. We're looking at swell heights hanging between 6 ft and 7 ft, with a combined wave energy that hits some big numbers (like 2091 on Friday the 10th of July), but that means nothing when the wind's ruining the surface. The swell direction is from the West and West-North-West, which is coming from the wrong side of the optimum SW direction needed to make A-Frame work properly. The period sits mostly at a pretty average 10 to 12 seconds, so we're not getting any proper groundswell magic.

There's a slight change up around the 13th of July, where a new SSW swell rolls in with a very long period hitting 21 seconds on Monday the 13th, and it's got some good energy behind it (1189). But again, the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, smashing any chance of a clean face. That long period groundswell at a beachy reef setup like A-Frame can sometimes go a bit straight, but honestly, the wind's the killer here. The water temp is a warm 84°F, which is about average for the time of year, so the rubber's staying off at least.

Honestly, for a beginner break like Hikkaduwa, seeing swell over 5 ft already pushes the comfort zone, and with this wind, it's just messy. There's nothing to chase here. The setup looks more like a kite-surfing kind of day than a paddle-surf day. We just gotta wait for the wind gods to switch it around.

Rusty.

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.
