Description of Kalpitiya Main Lagoon (Sri Lanka)
Great lagoon with very good conditions of flat water. There are two main seasons in Kalpitiya the summer (May to September) hot and with strong winds and the winter one from December to February with more gentle winds. This lagoon is best suited for the winter season since in summer the south direction is covered by land and the wind results very gusty or even doesn't reach the lagoon. The water is flat and shallow and without specific dangers
