Sticks

Sticks is a surf spot located in Southwest, Sri Lanka, specifically in Ahangama on the southwest coast. The spot is named after the traditional stilt fishermen who are often seen in the area. The bottom is a mix of coral reef and sand. Sticks is a reef break with A-frame peaks, and the spot provides both left and right waves. The length of the ride ranges from 50 to 150 meters. The surf here is very consistent, and the spot is suitable for all levels on smaller days, including longboarders. When the swell is bigger, the waves become more challenging and are better for experienced surfers. The entry point can be tricky, as you need to cross rocks or use a small wooden bridge from a nearby surf school. Sticks works at all tides, but the waves are more powerful during low tide. The area is usually less crowded than other nearby surf spots, which include Marshmallows, Animals, The Rock, Lamana Point, and Gas Station. When the spot is crowded, it is important to respect the locals and always check the surf etiquette. Before paddling out, check your skills to make sure the spot and the current conditions fit your surfing level. For the latest surf forecast, report, map, and webcam updates, check reliable surf resources before heading out. The spot does not have alternative names or famous surfers associated with it, and there is no specific information about parking or how to reach the spot. Always be aware of the coral reef bottom and the entry points to avoid injuries. Sticks is a straightforward surf spot for those looking for consistent waves in the Southwest region of Sri Lanka.
