visited by wwkiter574 on 2020I had a sensational time at Sun Wind Beach. Owned by Local Kiters. Cabanas right next to Kalpitiya Lagoon ( main spot). Really welcoming family with delicious food. Felt like a home away from home. Will definitely come back.ProRider

visited by albanwave on 2018For the nostalgic of the beginning of Dhakla with the tents. No air conditioning but no need because located in full wind. Excellent wifi. Total autonomy: need transportation to go on the spot. Not necessarily ideal for a family, and no nightlife.Horizon Resort

Spot avec un vent beaucoup plus stable et un peu plus consistant que son voisin (Spot de Kalpitiya). Cadre enchanteur à l'écart du tourisme de masse. Je recommande sans problème de mai à septembre.
Nomad
C’est une lagune qui s’étend sur plusieurs kilomètres, du vent en permanence de juin à octobre quoique relativement rafaleux, une bande sable avec d’un côté la mer et ses vagues, de l’autre la lagune et son plan d’eau flat. On a pied presque partout. Attention c’est une lagune par un... lagon. Donc un peu boueux et une eau propre mais pas trop claire. On peut kiter sans chausson mais attention aux coupures. Elles s’infectent très rapidement. Tout autour plein de kitesufcenter proposant des prestations différentes selon les gammes. Privilégier celles avec piscine tant il est agréable de se baigner le soir après avoir barboter en plein vent et plein soleil toute la journée. La plupart propose des transferts depuis les centres vers la plage. Petit conseil d’amis. Louer un scooter (1000 roupies soit autour de 7€) pour être indépendant et rentrer faire un somme si nécessaire.....
Un coup de cœur. Cocodance kitesuf center à environ 38 € pour deux personne la nuit. Petit cottages sympa sans AC mais ventilo. Design sympa et grande piscine extérieure. Proprio très sympa discret et arrangeant. Possible de déjeuner et dîner sur place pour pas très cher sous une grande hutte assez sympa.
Cote kite school on a flashé sur Mireille (+34 661 62 41 96) et Mario, deux espagnols qui vivent entre Sri Lanka et la Thailande. Avec eux on est descendu à l’île de Vella au nord de la lagune. C’est au bout du monde mais c’est magique.

Wind During May - September :
Wind during summer months is much stronger than the winter months. The gap between Sri Lanka and India across the Adam's Bridge creates a "venturi effect". Wind which blows between May till September in comes from the East. This wind is warm and dry as... it comes over the land rather than the sea. This wind is normally stronger than the wind which comes over the sea, ranging between 20 – 30 knots or more. One of the biggest difference compared to the wind during the winter months, is that it blows during the whole day and night. At some of the lagoons, depending on the buildup and vegetation the wind can become a bit gustier, but that also depends on which spot you choose. Example if you visit one of the islands north from us you can experience steady wind conditions’ and great flat-water arena for any one. In case you wish to take kitesurfing lessons , our kiteschool will take care of explaining exactly how this works. The wind has a massive venturi effect between India and Sri Lanka and blows strong all summer
Wind durnig December to March:
This wind is not as strong as the wind from May till September, and comes from the west over the Indian Ocean. This means it´s a bit cooler and a bit humid. This wind brings down the temperature in the evenings, allowing a very cool December / January nights. One needs to have a shower before the sun goes down, otherwise the shower can be a bit chilling too, its is an overwhelming experience for this part of the world. Normally wind strength is around 15 – 25 knots, and it’s more steadier than the ssummer months. The main difference compared to the wind from May is that this wind picks up normally around 11AM till mid day, leaving the mornings very calm. It can also be thermal wind , this is one of the reasons why Kalpitiya has almost 100\% of wind during the European Winter months. Wind during December - March is normally accompanied by clear skies, fresh air and great visibility. This is also the time where you can do a Dolphin safari or even go diving in the mornings before the wind picks up. Less wind means almost no waves in the mornings and the ocean bottom is much more calmer and clearer, making it possible for great dives in Kalpitiya.

Même avis mitigé de la part d'amis qui y sont allés deux semaines cet été et qui en plus, ont chopé neuf jours de pétole... et comme le coin est paumé pas de tourisme aux alentours...

Avis mitigé sur ce spot, visité en mai 2011 : vent faible et souvent rafaleux, eau marron, spot complètement paumé, pas d'ambiance. Personnellement, je n'y retournerai pas...
