Yala Rights surf guide

Yala Rights is located in the Yala National Park area and offers a remote surfing experience. This spot is relatively unexplored, making it a great option for surfers looking to get away from the crowds. It’s accessible primarily by boat from Kumana, so make sure to plan accordingly and check in with the Rangers for local advice. Note that there’s an entry fee and you’ll need a jeep for the ride.

The wave at Yala Rights generally breaks right over a sandy bottom, which is friendly for those intermediate surfers looking to improve their skills. This spot works best with a southeast swell, but it's capable of handling swells from the north and south as well, with optimal conditions for wave sizes around 2ft (about 0.6 meters). The preferred wind direction here is from the west, and it can work across different tide heights—low, mid, and high—so you can catch a session at various times throughout the day.

Beyond the surf, Yala Rights offers an experience of solo surfing, perfect for those willing to go the extra mile. The adventurous setup, along with the chance to connect with nature, makes this spot a unique destination. Just remember to respect the environment while you enjoy the waves!
