About Kandathoduwa
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.
