Ahangama

Southern Province, Sri Lanka
🪸Sharp reef🦔Urchins

Ahangama steps up the intensity from Sri Lanka's beginner-friendly breaks—a collection of reef setups along the southern coast that offer more challenging waves and the iconic backdrop of stilt fishermen perched above the surf. Multiple peaks provide options, from mellow corners to more powerful reef sections that demand proper positioning and timing. The village setting is authentically Sri Lankan, with fishing boats lining the beach and the sense of an older, less-developed coast. For surfers seeking to graduate from Weligama, Ahangama provides the next chapter.
