More Than Just a Surf School
At Tidal Rhythms, we believe surfing is about more than just standing on a board it’s about finding your connection with the ocean in a place that feels like home. Located just a short walk from Weligama’s busy main strip, we offer a “hidden gem” experience where the waves are uncrowded and the atmosphere is peaceful.

Posted on Pan ViTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We rented our boards few days in the row and stayed for food as well. The boards are in great condition, we felt always welcomed. One of the staff made a lot of photos for us. There is a shower stall offering some privacy to shower and change clothes. -1 star for atmosphere, I wish there was no pile of burning trash nearby. But I guess there is no escaping that in Sri Lanka 😶Posted on Serena ZaffutoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best surf School in time! Good vibes and beautiful waves. If you come to weligama, choose tidal rhythms and you will have fun!Posted on Franz SpindlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sehr zu empfehlen! Ich habe sehr viel Feedback bekommen. Die Stunde war gut ausgenutzt; der Lehrer hat ordentlich gepushed. Der Preis ist absolut fair und liegt mit 5.000 Rupies pro Person/Stunde inkl. Board im üblichen Rahmen. Ausserdem kann man nach der Stunde wundervoll bei ihnen chillen und kaffee mut frisch gepresster Kokosmilch trinken - ein Traum!Posted on Nikol PaulováTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
