Spot intelligence.

The mapped hotel-front marker is promoted as Weligama Bay, not a private micro-spot. Southwest swell, early north wind and manageable size receive the strongest fit; the sheltered bay remains broad and adaptive across the tide.

Character

01

Weligama Bay is defined by sheltered left and right beach peaks with a right reef option over sand in the bay with reef toward the edge. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.

Best setup

02

SW groundswell wrapping into the bay swell, n offshore · early morning preferred and broad tide range · bank dependent form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.3–1.8 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.

Lineup read

03

Match the active peak to your ability and leave space for other surfers in the water. Pay particular attention to dense surf-school traffic, runoff and variable water quality, fishing boats. Local signs and advice always take priority.
