Weligama beginner class after Amber came off — still too much leftover chop or is the school just being conservative
School texted that Amber expired 11:30 so the 13:00 beginner peak is on. I am a true beginner. Heat is real. Not trying to be the tourist who argues a reef.

Amber off is not a beginner green light. Look at the peak with your own eyes. If whitewater is dumping on the inside, sit the shade and rebook a morning. Reef cuts are real here. A class is a class, not a photo. Heat caution: do not bake on the sand waiting for a set that is not yours.
We sat, watched one hour, skipped. Fine. The 13:00 slot was for people who already stand up.
If you go, rash vest, reef booties, listen. Pride argues the cancelled warning and then owns a cut.
Morning is the beginner hour on this bay. Noon is leftover swell plus heat. I will not invent a closed peak.
