When to visit?

The southern coast of our beautiful island faces high- and a low season. The surf however, is consistent all year around. The peak season runs from December to March. During this period is dry season and it is not as windy when monsoon season kicks in.

From May to October monsoons hits the South. Luckily, this doesn’t mean heavy tropical rain all day around, just a few showers every now and then. During these months, the swell is strong and consistent – but is accompanied with onshore wind. Monsoon season attracts more advanced surfers but is also an excellent season for beginners who are still learning how to surf. Moreover, less crowds! :)

Do I have to speak and understand English to enjoy the retreat?

Yes, in order to make the most out of it we do recommend you have a basic knowledge of the English language

What if I can’t swim?

You do not need to be a strong swimmer. In fact most of our instructors learned to surf first before they could swim ;). Our first lessons are only in waist deep water. However, do let our instructor know if you have trouble swimming. For more advanced lessons we recommend you can swim at least 40 meters without a floating device

I have never surfed in my life. Is this retreat for me?

Yes, absolutely! Lots of our guests have never even touched a surfboard before. We are here to help you to learn to surf and make your first experience on the board an unforgettable one!

What happens if the weather is bad during the surf retreat?

The occasional rains are not a problem for surfing, as you will be in the water for most of your surf lesson anyway :) In the event dangerous surf conditions occur, we will obviously reschedule or postpone a class

Is there a minimum age to take part in the surf retreat?

You need to be at least 18 years old to book your retreat. We do accept children from 10—16 when they are accompanied by a parent(s) or guardian.
