Plantations sits in the middle of Midigama's two kilometres, and it is the anomaly of this coast. In January, five days of a week are worth paddling out for, exactly The Rock's figure, and The Rock is the busiest wave in the country.
The difference is the crowd. Where Ahangama gets whole groups arriving, here there are three of you. It is the best ratio on the island between what a wave gives and what you have to share it with, and it is the argument for staying at Midigama rather than anywhere else.
Take the figure as a snapshot rather than a promise: a break this good with a crowd this small does not stay that way for ever. Reef and rock underneath, like the other three.

A month in figures
In January, the month the forecast guides single out for this coast:
Shares of the month, from the published forecast statistics. The model reads a grid, so neighbouring breaks share a figure: this describes a stretch of coast, not this wave on its own. The other eleven months are not published.
What to watch for
- Rocks
Technical figures read off published surf guides. Where two disagree, the sheet says so.
