Dickwella

Dickwella is a small village in the south of Sri Lanka, it is really no more than a street with some shops and hotels. Hiriketiya Bay is a bay near Dickwella. Around this beautiful bay lay many restaurants and hot spots. Hiriketiya Bay (also known as Hiri) is the place to be, the place where all the action takes place in Dickwella! Hiriketiya is, therefore, part of Dickwella, but because almost everything happens at this beach, one often referres to Hiriketiya instead of Dickwella (or Dikwella).

Dickwella itself is a slowly rising star on the Sri Lankan surf scene. However, the fame isn’t really down to the urban beach.

Dickwella Beach
BeginnerYou’re not likely to find too many surfers on Dickwella Beach itself. That’s not to say this stunning run of golden sand can’t be surfed. Only, it’s not as good or as consistent as some of the other Dickwella surf spots around. Basically, you’ve got a wide, open bay that stays very shallow for a long way into the ocean. The result is lots of peaks, but none that really have any punch.

It’s a decent place to get a local surf instructor to show you the ropes on a foamy. In fact, there are a few start-up surf schools doing their thing on Dickwella Beach these days. Just don’t expect long rides. Instead, there’s lots of whitewash and less-than-shoulder-high waves to get started on. A beginner ride.
