Okanda Surf Guide
An amazing and often empty right point that breaks off a large rock headland and runs at near perfect pace for up to 300 yards along well-formed sand banks. What's even better about this spot is that because of how remote it is, fewer surfers end up here.You will definitely need a guide to find this place, as it's a minimum two-hour drive along winding dirt paths from Arugam Bay. And while it doesn't get as much swell as A Bay, it's a good bet on smaller days. With such good banks, it's as fun at three feet as it is at six.
