When to Book Your Weligama Surf Holiday

Weligama is a year-round destination for beginners. However, conditions vary slightly:

  • November – April: Peak season. Smallest, cleanest waves. Best for absolute beginners. Busiest time – book 2-3 weeks in advance.
  • May – September: Shoulder season. Slightly bigger waves (2-4 feet). Still great for beginners. Fewer crowds.
  • October: Transition month. Good conditions. Quieter beaches.

We recommend booking November through April for the most gentle learning conditions.

How to Get to Weligama for Your Surf Holiday

  • From Colombo Airport (CMB): 2.5-3 hour drive. We arrange private transfers for package guests.
  • From Galle: 30-40 minutes by tuk-tuk or bus.
  • From Mirissa: 15 minutes by tuk-tuk.

Airport transfer is included FREE in the 7-day package. For 3-day and 5-day packages, add $75 for round-trip transfer.
