Ocean in Bentota in July?
We are going to Sri Lanka in July. We chose this hotel at first, but I'm worried that the waves are too strong in the ocean at this time. Is it so ? what do you advise?

July is not the season. In addition to the rain, there are really big waves.

It’s exciting in this part of the island, but the entrance to the water is gentle, the beach is wide, you can flop and jump on the waves (I have already written about this more than once, accompanying the photo).
At the same time, rains do not spoil the rest - they are most often, as many years of experience have shown, in "our" summer they are short.
Without waves in July, bays in the south (Tangalle region, for example) and the east coast (Trincomalee - Nilaveli region).
Hotel level 4 *, after reconstruction - Chaaya Blue. The number of rooms in the east is small, so take care of booking a hotel in advance.

I have been to Sri several times during the rainy season, do not believe that it is only a light and short-term rain, everything is different there every season, but for the last 2 years, prolonged monsoon rains, when it floods the whole country, there were even human casualties, they stop the railway and auto messages, respectively, it is difficult to see the country, because first of all they care about the safety of tourists. The wave is really high and it is very dangerous to enter the ocean, it is better to choose the east

Monsoons are an element, right. Therefore, it is better to wait out such rain. However, I don’t remember a single case when someone was thoroughly flooded in coastal hotels and dramatically ruined their vacation.
And then - both their rains and our snows - these are all the whims of mother nature, so here one should rely on the will of heaven.
Everyone has the right to their own opinion, but our summer trips to Lanochka in May, July, and August last year were successful - to the extent of the sun, to the extent of moisture. Somewhere more excited (Beruwala), somewhere less (Hikkaduwa and Weligama). In a word, there were no situations described by sweet.lo, which seem to be a summary of the Ministry of Emergencies :o)

I don’t know how, but I’ll try to post photos taken by me during the monsoon period and let everyone decide for themselves how much this is a summary of the Ministry of Emergencies. If you sit in a hotel, then it’s really safe and nothing will happen, but it’s absurd to go to this country and sit in a hotel, read more carefully - I described the situation for traveling around the country and excursions

The probability of rains in the second half of August - September is quite high, but it does not happen year after year. While working on the island, I had to observe the vagaries of the weather, including in the Bentota Club, but in the end the rain - warm, tropical - does not spoil the trip :)
