 Access

It's not easy, but any of the surf bungalows in Arugam Bay can assist you. You will need to take a TukTuk from Arugam Bay or Pottuvil and go with someone who knows where they're going. Then you'll have to walk (in the heat) for about 10 minutes to the point. English (Translate this text in English): It's not easy, but any of the surf bungalows in Arugam Bay can assist you.

 Additional Information

High tide is out, unless the swell is killing it. If the wind is onshore at Arugam Bay then give it a try, but don't be surprised if everyone else has the same idea. Need 4-wheel drive to get in otherwise a 500 metre walk and as there is no 4-wheel drives available to us it is the latter option.

Atmosphere

Pottivul is a great little wave that peels mechanically over sand banks around a Byron/Pass-like point. It breaks very close to the beach as it winds its way down the point and it is easy to step off, almost on to the dry sand, at the end of the wave and run back out to the take off. Great for 20-30 second nose rides.Very fast and even barreling wave in the mid section. The wave breaks right along the shore, so just get out and walk back. Hide your gear well around the rock, locals (invisible) like to borrow you things. If you're lucky enough to check on of those epic sunsets you'll remember it for life.
