Difference between Hiriketiya and Ahangama waves for intermediates

Base yourself in Ahangama. Hiriketiya is a beautiful horseshoe bay, but it is tiny, and the single left point break is fiercely localized and incredibly crowded. Ahangama spans several kilometers of coastline with multiple distinct breaks (Marshmallows, Lazy Left, Kabalana). There are far more waves to choose from, spreading the crowd out, making it much friendlier for intermediates.
