Good to know

South and West Coast: generally November to April.

These are broad seasonal guides, not guarantees. October and November can be unsettled across parts of the island, and Kalpitiya, the north coast and offshore reefs can follow their own conditions. Swimming, surfing, diving and boat trips always depend on local safety advice, and marine sightings are never guaranteed.
