The absolute ultimate prime season for surfing anywhere on the southern coast specifically around Unawatuna and Weligama is from late November through April.
If you visit during the summer monsoon between June and September the ocean becomes violently choppy highly disorganized and incredibly dangerous constantly blown out by brutal onshore winds.
During these winter months the prevailing offshore winds groom the incoming swells perfectly creating remarkably clean glassy highly consistent waves every single morning.
Scam Watch: galle
Someone befriends you and offers a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to buy gems at wholesale prices and resell them abroad for huge profit. They may show you fake export certificates. The gems are worthless glass or low-quality stones.
Restaurants without visible prices. Bill arrives with inflated charges (500 LKR coconut becomes 1500 LKR). "Service charges" added without disclosure.
