Midigama is a small village, between Ahangama and Weligama, on the Southwest coast of Sri Lanka, approximately 140 kilometers from Colombo.   While the village itself is considerably smaller than Hikkaduwa, there’s still a lot going on here, with a good range of different places to eat, drink, and stay. There are several surf shops too, so you’ll have everything you need. Midigama is a really great place to base yourself if you’d like to try out a few different surf spots in the area.   There are five main waves in Midigama itself, with various others located a short scooter (/tuk-tuk) ride away.   The five Midigama waves are:   Lazy Left: A famous left-hand deep reef break that’s good for intermediate surfers. The first section can be fairly fast, but after that, the wave gets nice and mellow (hence the name “Lazy”). It can hold up to 4-6 ft swells on a good day and can take you a few hundred metres. Lazy Right: An even mellower version of Lazy Left. Waves break predictably over a deep reef, providing an easy take-off. This is one of the best waves in Sri Lanka for competent beginners to transition onto reef breaks. Devil’s Rock (/Sion): This is a great intermediate spot, offering consistent left and right-hand waves popular with both long and short boarders. Be on the watch for urchins and sharp rocks. Rams: The most advanced surf break in the area, Rams is a fast, powerful, barreling right-hander over a shallow, sharp reef. I’m not good enough to surf here, but I’ve heard from experienced surfers that it’s a lot of fun! Plantations: Located between the villages of Midigama and Gurubebila (below), Plantations is another good spot for intermediate surfers. The reef is (mostly) quite deep, but there are a few rocks to keep an eye out for, especially on your way in and out. Mostly right-hand waves, but the reef is fairly wide and you can get decent lefts here too.
