Dewata beach located right next to Unawatuna is universally celebrated precisely because it is incredibly immensely safe. The natural geography of the massive bay naturally dissipates the intense ocean energy.
There are virtually zero strong aggressive rip currents pulling out to the deep sea making it the absolute premier ultimate safe zone for complete beginners learning to surf the gentle white water.
However during massive seasonal storm swells the water volume obviously increases. You should absolutely always listen strictly to the highly experienced local surf instructors who know the exact daily shifting sandbar conditions perfectly.
