Odin near Coconut Tree Hill is pure slow mood. Coconut trees moving to their own rhythm, waves on loop, sunlight doing magic on the table. Peak Sri Lanka.

1

Main Entrance (Recommended)

This is the easiest way to access the surf point. You can walk down through the mountain path from Odin's Restaurant. At the bottom, you will find a couple of rocks that you need to cross carefully. They can be very slippery, especially when wet. When exiting the surf point, it is usually better to use Route 2 and head all the way to the beach.

2

Alternative Entrance

Another way to reach the surf point is from Sunset Bar Beach. You can enter the water there and swim across. Watch out for two rocks that sit near the surface, and avoid drifting too far toward Parrot Rock.

3

Rocky Entrance

This is another possible entrance to the surf point. However, there are many rocks in this area, so proceed carefully and always be aware of your surroundings.

4

Main Lineup

This is the main surfing area. You can catch both left and right waves from this position, directly in front of the rocks. This is generally the best place to wait for waves.

5

Mountain Reef (Danger Zone)

Always stay clear of this area. The Mountain Reef is shallow and can be dangerous, especially during larger swells. If you drift onto the reef, move left or right with the current and work your way back toward Area 4 before heading out.
