Matara

Edit Spot
About

this is a great spot, it is still quite unknown which means that you dont have to battle for waves like in hikkaduwa and midigama.

We met a local surfer named silva in matara who first took us to this point. - thanks silva for the great advice!!!

Atmosphere:
When I first arrived in meddawatta i was amazed at the sets of waves coming into this near desserted beach. The locals are friendly and great guys to get surfing info from. The best time to visit is nov to april with the waves at their very best during febuary. The sunsets are also to die for!!!

Additional Info:
There are some nice guesthouse and hotels where you can get all the facilitys.

Guest house names include, latitude six, moonbridge, neutral wind and surf lanka.
