Weligama Bay

Weligama Bay

The learners' wave of the south coast: mostly lefts over sand, surfable at every stage of the tide, clean about half the time in January. Busy, and pollution is the listed hazard.

A month in figures

In January, the month the forecast guides single out for this coast:

  • 53%Clean and surfable
  • 25%Blown out
  • 22%Too small

Shares of the month, from the published forecast statistics. The model reads a grid, so neighbouring breaks share a figure: this describes a stretch of coast, not this wave on its own. The other eleven months are not published.
