lighthouse yard at Dondra lighthouse yard on 21 Aug after leftover chop — go in or sit the sand toward Matara — 21 Aug lived pin 684.1
21 Aug, camera bag, phone only, tripod stays packed. Leftover swell from the last few days. Kid already eyeing the shallows. I want a local, not a cocktail.

Stay where you can stand. Yard and wind; not a closed cape unless the gate says so. Leftover chop is ordinary August sea, not a brochure. No inflatables past the first break. I will not invent an official warning colour.
Elder move: plate, shade, then decide. Dondra lighthouse yard will still be there. Shade before pride.
Kids: leave when they melt. Pride turns lighthouse yard into a timetable.
Screenshot a meeting pin at Matara because inland data dies. The blob tower is not a plan.
