Why Hiriketiya Is a Great Place to Learn Surfing
Hiriketiya Bay is one of the most popular surf spots on Sri Lanka’s south coast. The bay offers different areas for different levels, which makes it a great place for beginner and intermediate surfers.
For first-time surfers, softer whitewater sections can be ideal for practising paddling, pop-up and balance.
For intermediate surfers, Hiriketiya can offer opportunities to work on timing, positioning and wave selection when the conditions are suitable.
Because Hiriketiya can get busy, we always choose the lesson time and area carefully. Safety, confidence and personal progress come first.
Meet Pasi,
Your Local Surf Instructor
Most Ocean & Om surf lessons are guided by Pasi, a local surf instructor from the Hiriketiya area with years of hands-on coaching experience.
His calm and personal coaching style helps beginners feel safe in the water and gives intermediate surfers clear, practical feedback. Every lesson is adapted to your confidence, experience and the daily surf conditions.

“1000% recommendation.✨I booked a beginner surf lesson even though I can’t swim and felt nervous at first. The team contacted me via WhatsApp, answered my questions and relieved my anxiety. At the beach, my instructor calmly explained every step and helped me feel confident. And what can I say: I SURFED! I never thought I would stand on a board.”
Jason
,,My family had a fantastic experience with Ocean & Om Surf School in Hiriketiya. The lessons started with the basics before heading into the water, and Pasi made sure even our young child felt safe from the beginning. The kids enjoyed it so much that we ended up booking four days of surf lessons. My wife also loved the expertly guided yoga classes near the beach.”
Annebel
,,We had around ten surf lessons with Pasi and improved so much while still having fun. His explanations were clear, helpful and easy to understand. The yoga session with Dani was exactly what we needed to recover after surfing and was the perfect addition. We would definitely recommend the Surf & Yoga Package — great value for money!”
