Rama Krishna Beach

Beach breaks at Rama Krishna Beach in January!  It's hard to believe but we have had decent knee high plus waves.   Opposite the local YMCA the wave breaks fast left and closes out.  Makes for some great fun and is always guaranteed to draw a crowd.  RK Beach has three locations to check out.  (1-YMCA, 2- Submarine, 3- Novotel)

Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka

When the surf is flat in Vizag, there are beautiful beaches nearby.  My family and I took a surfing vacation to Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka.  The surfing was amazing, the water clear, and the food amazing...culture awesome.  We will definitely go back.  We stayed at Drifters Hotel. ($65 per day for a triple/AC during high season)  There are several surf points but my favorite was in front of Mambo's.  Point break off the reef.  Head high both right and left.  The wave peaks suddenly off the reef making for steep drops with good power and consistency.
