Arugam Bay surf forecast & live buoy readings
Arugam Bay is rated from the NOAA GFS-Wave model sampled at the break itself; no NOAA wave buoy sits within 200 km, so the model is the only live source on this coast. It works on swell from E through SSW, best at 12–18 s. The first 5 days, the tide chart and every buoy's live readings and history are free to everyone; a free account adds the full 16-day wave and wind charts and custom swell alerts.

Live from the buoys
All buoys near Arugam Bay →The NOAA stations nearest Arugam Bay are DART tsunami sensors — seafloor pressure gauges that measure water-column height, not sea state. They cannot tell you what the waves are doing; the closest wave-measuring buoy is 1,063 km away. PierMonkey rates Arugam Bay from the NOAA GFS-Wave model sampled at the spot itself, and the 16-day forecast on the Forecast tab is the source to plan from. How the rating works →
