The east coast is dry and calm from about May to September, when much of the west and south coast is wet. From roughly November to January the north-east monsoon arrives, and Pasikuda's season is over.
What to do
Swimming and water sports at Pasikuda and Kalkudah are the main activities. Batticaloa, about an hour south, has a Dutch fort, a lagoon and the Kallady bridge, where "singing fish" are said to be heard on still nights. Polonnaruwa is around two hours inland.
