About Weligama
Weligama sits on Sri Lanka's south coast, west of Matara, set around a wide, shallow bay. It is widely described as one of the island's main beginner surf beaches: the waves break over sand, roll in slowly and are generally considered gentle, and the beach is lined with surf schools and board hire. A small island with a house on it sits just off the bay and is one of the town's best-known sights. The season here is the opposite of the east coast: the best surf usually arrives from around November to April. Fishing boats still work from the bay, and stronger waves break at spots along the coast nearby, among them Midigama, for surfers who want them.
