Best surfing season for Arugam Bay waves?

In Arugam Bay, the best surfing season goes from May to September; it matches the East Coast’s dry season, and you experience steady offshore winds the whole time.

During these months, the Indian Ocean puts out long, peeling right-hand point breaks, which is why Arugam Bay is known on the international surf circuit. July and August bring the steadiest swell pattern for intermediate and advanced surfers looking for Main Point and Peanut Farm. Beginners can still catch calmer, more workable waves at sheltered breaks like Whiskey Point and Elephant Rock during that peak stretch.
