SURFING AT TALALLA

We also offer surf & yoga retreats for those who want to make the most of both. Get stoked to catch waves all morning long, followed by surf-focused yoga sessions in the afternoon.

When is the best time to come?

Our surf retreat in Sri Lanka is open all year round. As we are located near the southernmost point of the island, we have amazing breaks on either side of our retreat which makes it one of the best places to surf in Sri Lanka. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to take your surfing skills to the next level, our experienced coaches will select the best waves for you to learn, improve and have fun!

What is the difference between the "Surf Camp" and the "Surf & Yoga Retreat"?

Our classic Sri Lanka surf camp program mainly consists of daily surf coaching sessions, surf theory and skills workshops, and post-surf video analysis sessions.

Looking for a dose of yoga to complement your Sri Lanka surf trip? Our surf and yoga retreat in Sri Lanka combines the calm of yoga with the thrill of surfing. With your dedicated yoga instructor you and your group will participate in a series of insightful yoga-based workshops and classes in addition to the daily surf sessions, video review and surf theory briefings. The surf & yoga program includes all the features offered in the surf only package.

I'm not sure what surfing level I am. What should I select on the contact form?

Knowing where you are at in your surfing can be a difficult thing to quantify. Our focus here at Talalla Surf is to help you become a more confident, independent and stoked surfer at any level!

There are 4 different levels ranging from beginner to advanced, each broken up into 2 separate components: Surf Skills and Ocean Awareness. As you progress through your surfing experience it is important that you are gaining new knowledge both in the domain of Surf Skills but also with regard to Ocean Awareness.

If you’re not sure, just get in touch with our surf coordinator using the contact form, and we will help you determine which surf level will allow you to get the most out of your time at Talalla Surf.

I can't join for the full week. Can I join for the day or part of the week?

Our surf camp runs every week from Sunday to Saturday. In order for each member of the surf group to get the most out of the experience, we highly recommend guests to join for the entire duration of the week. At this time, we do not accept drop-in guests.

I'm an intermediate/advanced surfer. Will I benefit from joining the surf camp?

We are one of the few surf schools in Sri Lanka that offer higher-level coaching beyond just surf guiding. Talalla Surf prides ourselves on our industry-leading video review, in-water coaching and theory sessions. These are extremely helpful for surfers looking to further progress their skills and take it to the next level. For intermediate/advanced surfers, we further limit the group size to a maximum of 4 people of a similar level.

How early do I need to book?

As one of the most reputable and longest-running surf camps in Sri Lanka, we recommend that you get in touch as early as possible with your potential travel dates. We limit our group sizes to ensure that each guest receives focused and personalized instruction & coaching, and also always aim to take surf guests to the least crowded waves in south Sri Lanka – our surf camp / surf and yoga retreat in Sri Lanka therefore often fills up months in advance.

Our “peak” season typically runs from November to April, though we are fortunate to be located in the deep south of Sri Lanka and have access to incredible waves all throughout the year. Come and surf south Sri Lanka with our experienced coaches!

Will there be time to do some sightseeing?

Depending on which program you have signed up for, you typically will have most of the late afternoons and evenings free to explore our neck of the jungle, or for the keen beans out there you can always head out for a free surf.

There are a number of attractions near Talalla Retreat, and the front desk team would be happy to help arrange transportation and excursions.
