What is the best time to visit Weligama?

If you're planning to surf, the best time to visit Weligama is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. During these months, the surf conditions are typically more consistent, with smaller swells and lighter winds, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced surfers. If you're looking to relax on the beach and enjoy the sunshine, any time from November to April is great, as this period coincides with the dry season when you're less likely to encounter rain.

If you're interested in exploring the cultural and historical sites in the area, such as Galle Fort or the Buddhist temples, you can visit Weligama year-round. However, remember that some attractions may be busier during the peak tourist season (December to March). Weligama is close to Mirissa, one of the best places in the world for whale watching. The peak season for whale watching in Mirissa is from December to April, when the waters are calm and clear, and you have a higher chance of spotting blue whales, sperm whales, and dolphins.
