Where is the best kitesurfing spot in Kalpitiya?

Ravana Tour Specialist August 18, 2026

Kalpitiya Lagoon is widely regarded as the top kitesurfing spot in the area, giving flat, shallow water and very steady trade winds. It suits both people who are starting absolutely from zero and also advanced freestyle riders who want to push tricks.

A narrow strip of sandbank keeps the huge lagoon apart from the Indian Ocean, so riders can pick between that butter-smooth lagoon surface and actual ocean waves. The main wind spell happens from May to October, linked to the strong Southwest Monsoon, and also from December to March, when the Northeast Monsoon is lighter.
