Whiskey Point Surf Guide

Whiskey Point in East Sri Lanka is a reasonably exposed point break that has quite reliable surf. Offshore winds blow from the west southwest and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the east southeast. There is no point break. Surfable at all stages of the tide. It very rarely gets crowded here.
