ENE to SW
The most remote Arugam break, around 23km south on the edge of Kumana National Park, an often empty right that breaks off a large rock headland and runs at near-perfect pace over rock and sand. Holds size with bowly sections and the odd barrel, so it suits strong intermediates and up. Best on a clean south swell at mid tide. East-coast season, May to October.
Heads up. Very remote with no facilities, rocks, elephants and crocodiles near Kumana park, strong rips at size.

AboutOkanda is firing today, though the window is tight. The south swell at fourteen-second intervals is wrapping in clean off the headland, and with the SW wind still cross-shore this morning, the faces are holding shape across the rock-and-sand point. This is overhead-to-slightly-overhead territory, probably around chest to head-high in the playable zones, and it demands confident, experienced surfers who read powerful right-handers well. The tide is barely moving, which works in your favour; conditions look best before the cross-shore wind lingers much past mid-morning.
By three o'clock, the wind swings offshore from the north-west and eases to a whisper, and the swell should thin slightly to chest-high or so. That sounds tempting on paper, but the morning window is where the swell's best energy sits; the afternoon offered mainly lighter, slower shape.
Tomorrow peaks at the same fair rating with waves from stomach to overhead depending on the set, and the morning holds the clearest read before wind and tide shift again. The fourteen-second period stays with you, so the swell character should remain consistent, though forecasts this far out carry their usual margin of uncertainty, the Indian Ocean throws surprises. Plan for confident, experienced surfing; this point does not soften up at this size.
