Field notes
Sri Lanka's south coast runs on the inverse monsoon cycle to the east — November to April is the dry-and-surf season, May to October is wet (and the surf community shifts to Arugam Bay on the east). Temperature is stable year-round (27°C average). The off-season is genuinely wet rather than just rainy.
