Surf etiquette at Main Point Arugam Bay
7 Answers
Main Point is highly competitive. The rules: 1. Sit on the shoulder, not the peak, on your first few days. 2. Give away the first set waves to the recognized locals. 3. NEVER drop in. If you snake a local, they will send you to the beach. 4. Be polite, smile, and say hello. Respect earns you waves here faster than aggressive paddling.
If you mess up, apologize immediately and paddle wide.
Also, do not leave your flip flops on the sand at Main point, stray dogs steal them.
I will stick to Peanut Farm for a few days to warm up.
Tourist beginners actually cause more chaos there than the locals do. Do not surf it unless you are advanced.
Watch out for the shallow reef on the inside section.
