Riding Conditions
Wind and Weather Conditions
Recommended wind for kitesurfing is wind coming from NE and SW .
There is Trade wind at Kandathoduwa, Sri Lanka.
It has the same wind probability like Kalpitiya. In the summer month (May to September), the wind blows 100% of the time with kite-able force (14-24 knts). The wind blows side-on from Southwest. The proximity of the Kerala coast facing Sri Lanka channels the Southwest monsoon, and strongly reinforces it. Kandathoduwa becomes thus globally one of the locations with the most consistent wind. In the winter, the Northeastern monsoon is thermally reinforced. In the afternoon, there is about 90% of kite-able wind with a strength of 12-20 knts. The wind blows sideshore. Other than in Kalpitiya, the wind does not flow over land in the summer. Thus, it's much less gusty. Because the wind is sideshore, and the thermal effect steadies the wind, the winter month are a fantastic time for less experienced kitesurfers.
Wind usually blows from NE and SW on the spot.
The best moments to come to Kandathoduwa, Sri Lanka are May, June, July, August and September .

Beach and Tide Conditions
Kitesurfing conditions do not depend on Tide on this spot.
Kandathoduwa, Sri Lanka is a Chop, Small waves and Medium waves spot.
The launching/landing area is reported to be of Big size.
The beach is endless (it virtually stretches for 30 km), and you will be the only kitesurfers for sure at this beach.
The coast of Kandathoduwa is directly exposed to the ocean swell. This results in a nice, kiteable beach break with 5-8 ft waves. These conditions are more suited to intermediary and advanced kiters. In the winter, the water is pitch flat in the morning, and a small chop builds with the thermal wind. The water stays typically pretty flat until about 3 o'clock, then some wind waves are forming. It's not bump and jump at all, though, the wind waves are regular, as there is no cross chop.
