In October in Sri Lanka, the off-season is as lucky as it is, but there are not any heavy rains. As a rule, it rains at night or in the afternoon. The last two years October was a pretty good month.

Minus Bentota can only be that the waves are big and the water is cloudy. I advise you to look at Unavatunu as a variant, because waves are damped from the bay. You can also see the Chaaya Tranz Hotel in Hikkaduwa. This reef hotel is located directly opposite.
