The 4th annual Arugam Bay Surf Contest was held in July 2013. Arranged by the Arugam Bay Surf Club with contestants coming from all over Sri Lanka to compete in the countries only local Surf Contest. The contest was well attended and showcased some promising young local talent who will hopefully, with some training and exposure to more contests, be able to compete at an international level in the not too distant future. The final 4 competitors were all Arugam Bay local guys and a hotly contested final saw 3 times winner Asanka take the title on his home break again, winning a cash prize and a brand new surf board.
