Okanda point break Kumana: remote east coast swell window and wildlife safety?

Okanda sits at the entrance of Kumana National Park, accessible via a rough 25-kilometer unpaved track south of Arugam Bay requiring high-clearance 4WD. The wave is a powerful, hollow right-hand point break that wraps around a sacred rocky headland, handling solid southeast swells up to 8 feet between June and September. The main natural hazard is wildlife: large Mugger Crocodiles (Crocodylus palustris) inhabit the estuarine lagoon immediately behind the sand spit. Surfers must paddle out strictly from the outer rocky ledge and avoid paddling through the shallow lagoon river mouth.
