Finding empty surf breaks on East Coast near Arugam Bay
7 Answers
Yes, the stretch between Panama and Okanda is pure wilderness. There are several unnamed right-hand points. However, you are surfing inside a national park buffer zone. There are crocodiles in the lagoons and wild elephants on the dirt tracks. You must have a 4x4, go with a group, and realize there is zero medical help nearby if you hit the reef.
We surfed near Kumana and had to wait for a herd of elephants to leave the beach before we could paddle out. Wild experience.
No, absolutely nothing. You must bring all the drinking water and food you will need for the entire day.
Bring a spare tire too. The dirt roads are rough and if you get a flat, you are stuck with the wildlife.
Noted. We will rent a 4x4 and stock up heavily before heading south.
Never swim in the still lagoon water behind those breaks. Only swim in the crashing ocean where crocs rarely go.
