Long stretch, deserted and miles of sand are the three features that make Pottuvil point a dream of every surfer and a favorite among experts. Because it is 9 kilometers and a one-hour tuk tuk ride away from A-Bay, the crowds are less. You can ride an 800 meter barrel right through the inside. You can be riding four feet but still be only a small distance away from the beach when you ride back to shore. The wave occasionally doubles up before hitting the sand. When comparing swell heights with Main point and Pottuvil Point, main point will be 6 foot whereas Pottuvil point will be around 4 to 5 feet. Make sure to carry along water or any other snacks and refreshment as there are no shelters. If you wish to go surfing in Arugam Bay then this is one of the best spots for a less crowded experience.
