Rams Right

Rams Right

Short, hollow, over shallow reef, and the only wave in Sri Lanka filed as expert.

Rams Right is Midigama's serious one. A short square right over reef that does not drop away much, two hundred metres from a Lazy Left that is neither of those things. On the same swell on the same day, the two ask completely different questions.

Almost never anybody on it, and not because it is unknown: because few people go. On the days it works, four or five in the water fill it.

Rock with little water over it is the combination that turns an ordinary fall into an injury, and this is the only break in the country filed as far as expert. If you are hesitating, the answer is Lazy Left.

What to watch for

  • Rocks

Technical figures read off published surf guides. Where two disagree, the sheet says so.
