Kitesurfspot Kalpitiya – We´ll make you ride!
We´ll make you ride – is our motto! Here in Kalitiya you find 2 different seasons for kitesurfing and windsurfing, although the spot itself is pretty windy all year long and is declared as one of the most stable wind spots in the world!
Kite season summer: May-October:
wind direction: south-west /vwind-average: 20-25 knots / days of wind: almost every day, sometimes it’s a bit gusty – but it’s still one of the best spots in the world during summer months!
Kite season winter: December-February:
Wind direction: north-west / wind-average: 15-20 knots / days of wind: 4-6 days a week, but very constant wind!
For an actual Forecast you can check back this Page or go to windfinder.de and navigate to Puttalam or Kalpitiya. On windguru.cz check Kalpitiya. And if you are not sure if it’s windy you can look at the the monthly archive from Windguru. We did some graphics for you to illustrate it from the last years!

The conditons are really good for Freeride and Freestyle, because the water is really flat. You can stand pretty much everywhere without swimming and the water is around 28°C to 30°C.
Beside surfing in the lagoon, you can switch any time to the Indian Ocean.
Moreover, there is the possibility of making some kitesurfing trips like Donkey Point or going to an lonely island (it’s called Paradise Island/Vella Island), which provides the most constant winds with flat waters you can imagine. It’s around 1 hour drive with the boat and always worth a trip. Just ask our staff for joining a kitetrip to Paradise Island!
