Frequently Asked Questions

The Surfer Beach Camp in Weligama is built for complete beginners. Lessons start on the sand with theory and pop-up practice, then move into waist-deep whitewater where your ISA-certified instructor pushes you into waves. Groups are capped at four students per instructor, and beginners ride 8-9 ft soft-top boards on a sandy-bottom bay with no reef.

A stay at The Surfer Beach Camp includes your room, daily breakfast, two guided surf sessions per day Monday to Saturday, surfboard and rash guard hire, video analysis, group yoga and Wi-Fi. Beach Camp is the beachfront property, so you also get direct beach access, the swimming pool and the on-site restaurant. Seven nights start at EUR 390.

The Surfer Beach Camp is directly on Weligama Bay - you walk from your room to the water in under a minute. This is the closest of our three camps to the break, which is why it suits guests who want to surf several times a day without arranging transport.

The best time to stay at The Surfer Beach Camp is October through April, the south coast surf season. December to March offers the most consistent waves and the liveliest camp atmosphere; October, November and February are quieter while still delivering excellent conditions. Water temperature stays near 28 °C throughout.

Non-surfers are welcome at The Surfer Beach Camp. The camp has a pool, a restaurant, a dedicated yoga area and direct beach access, and we can arrange whale watching in Mirissa, boat trips and day trips to Galle and the tea plantations. Many guests travel with a partner who does not surf.
