Overhead high, reading fair. Best of it runs until 11am.
Overhead surf today, faces to 4.2m. This size asks for real experience; be honest about whether you have surfed it before.

About this break
Level
Intermediate
Type
Point
Best swell
SE to W
A fairly exposed point a short drive from Galle that breaks both left and right, mellow and beginner-friendly most of the time but firing for stronger surfers when a bigger swell wraps the point. More consistent than its low profile suggests on a south-south-west swell, and cleanest with a north-east offshore at mid tide. Works in the November to April south-coast season.
Heads up. Reef and rocks, sea urchins, exposed to bigger swell.

AboutGo now if you're a confident, experienced surfer. The point is working well under a long-period south swell that wraps in cleanly, and the cross-shore wind from the west-north-west is holding the faces together rather than roughing them up. You're looking at overhead-high waves, probably 2.5 to 4.2 metres, with real power behind them; this is solid territory for surfers with genuine ocean time and judgment, and the best of it runs until around 11am before the day softens.
By mid-afternoon the wind will have swung slightly west and held at 20 kph cross-shore, which won't spoil what's left, but the swell will still be overhead-high and the tide shift won't bring any meaningful change. The session you want is the one happening now.
Tomorrow looks genuinely good. The swell drops to shoulder to overhead, roughly 1.6 to 4.1 metres, and morning conditions should be the cleanest window before the usual afternoon wind picks up. It's a step down in size from today but still requires a solid surfer; if you're not comfortable in overhead conditions, tomorrow morning gives you a better entry point than today does. The forecast reads firm on the morning call, though as always the ocean has the final word.
