Hikkaduwe located on the south western coast is one of the the best locations for surfing. Hikkaduwa is more crowded while arugambay is completely the opposite, but lacks the development of Hikkaduwe. Hikkaduwe boasts of about four places you could surf and during season you could ride the waves 2 – 6 feet in height both ways, so the experts say. All above places have deep water and flat reef’s, making them ideal for surfing, but not for the novice.
