Wind Days = % of days with 12–35 knot average wind speed (ideal kiting conditions). Based on 4 years of historical weather data.
Protected shallow water, typically flat and ideal for learning or freestyle
Vayu Resort is located on Sri Lanka's south coast, featuring a sheltered lagoon separated from the open ocean by a natural sandbar. The spot consists of shallow, protected waters with tidal channels and expansive mudflats visible in the satellite imagery. The lagoon's enclosed nature provides calm conditions ideal for learning but limits wave development. The shallow, choppy water (1.07m average waves) suits beginner riders developing edge control and body dragging skills rather than wave riding. Side-shore easterly winds (90°) are optimal when available, though the modest wind reliability (42%) means sessions depend heavily on timing. The moderate water temperature (28°C) allows extended sessions year-round. Riders should expect variable depths, soft bottom conditions, and limited wave potential. The protected lagoon environment minimizes hazards from powerful currents or heavy swell but requires awareness of tidal cycles affecting water levels and channel flow. Best suited for progression-focused beginners and those seeking calm-water technique development.
