Sri Lanka is unique because it has two distinct surfing windows depending on which coast you visit. For the East Coast, the peak arugam bay season is widely known to be between May and October.

Understanding the Peak Months

During these months, the Southwest monsoon blows offshore on the East Coast, creating perfectly groomed, glassy waves.
