Almost in Midigama, Sion is one of the furthest spots away from the town center and is a great wave for intermediates. The break here can hold up to 5-6ft waves with a nice medium-speed takeoff over a deep reef.

At a glance:

• Wave type: Reef Break

• Wave direction: Lefts and right

• Takeoff: Moderate

• Rides: 50 – 200 meters

• Level:  Intermediates / Advanced

• Paddle out: Medium and easy

• Crowds: Medium

  Typically this wave is surfed by the travellers staying in the nice stretch of up-market beachfront hotels and jungle hideaways near this area. If you’re staying in Ahangama town there isn’t much point venturing to this spot.

  If we hit this spot we’ll often come in the evening when Devils Rock offers a little more shelter from the wind and the waves might be less blown out. Sion also has a great view down the coast to watch sunset and some good bars for a few casual drinks.

  If there are no waves you can actually swim out to Devil’s Rock and climb it, it’s a unique experience and we highly recommend it.
