We were at the beginning of May in the town of Induruwa at the Induruwa beach resort hotel right on the ocean. The town of Induruwa is located on the southwestern coast of the island, 70 km from Colombo, 1.5 hours from the airport. All 12 days were without rain, great weather and super ocean.

Worth going! In April the weather is good. Yes, May is fine. Mango season - although it is always there, but in April the largest crops are harvested. I was in Beruwella very much. The Palms Hotel. Great beach. There is a lagoon who is afraid of the waves. You can go surfing. In general, feel free to eat.
I was in June-July and I can’t say that we were bothered by the rains. This season has its perks. Not so hot. Fewer tourists, cheaper fruits were.

Usually April and October are the time of the change of seasons: storms begin in the southwest, on the contrary, the sea calms down in the northeast. Here's how you're lucky. If the seasons change at the very beginning of April, then it is better to go to the Trincomalee area.

"Where in Induruwa or nearby can you buy groceries and fruits and vegetables? And at least give some guidance on the exchange rate and prices to hryvnia."
the rate of 1 $ = 150 rupees, that is, roughly 1 hryvnia = 5 rupees. It is best to exchange at the airport or in jewelry stores - "goldshop", in banks the rate will be lower. Prices for products are approximately the same as ours, a little more expensive. Dairy products are expensive, with meat tension, it is better to take fish on the market. There are no hypermarkets there. Supermarkets are almost the same. There are chain stores with a small assortment of goods. Fruit is better to buy in the markets. But there they will cheat for foreigners ...
1.5 liters of water - 70 rupees, bread - 60 rupees, pineapple per piece - 150-200 rupees, bananas kg - 150-200 rupees,

Everything is close to Induruva, there is a fruit market, grocery stores, and a delicious tea shop, it’s better to ask the locals, they will show and give a lift. the farm and the fruit market, they showed a shop where locals buy products, such as a shop. The fishermen gave huge beautiful shells, you can order from them to catch shrimp and all kinds of lobsters / squids, they cook them.

If we are talking about the current April, you would ask those who are now resting on the west coast how the sea is there. The rainy season has already begun.

We rested in May, 20 days and in different parts of the island, the weather was great, but the ocean is also different in different parts, of course, the most chic was the Trincamali area, this is the eastern part of the island, the ocean is completely calm, but this is an expensive resort, the Western part, a strong storm, there was always a red flag and it was dangerous to swim. The south was a small wave, we swam, jumped on the waves. BUT! Sri Lanka is such a paradise that even a storm will be a joy. Now the prices are unrealistically cheap, only if you go
for a maximum of 2 weeks, it’s not worth going for a week, it’s not enough

I am also for Trincomalee. It didn't seem to me that it was more expensive there than in the southwest. Is that in the town of Nilaveli hotels are more pretentious.

We returned from Hikkaduwa on April 12, it rained almost every day, and the night was so necessary. Rested and burned. And if there is still an opportunity, we will choose only Hikkaduwa! Fruit was in great demand, and especially shrimp. It was necessary to go to the market many times to find ripe pineapples and other fruits. Perhaps there was a shortage due to the fact that they had the New Year from April 13 to 14. In stores, too, the shelves were empty before our eyes, and new goods were not imported.Review already posted

I can't even imagine Sri Lanka without waves,
We swam without waves in the lagoon near the Lanka supercorals hotel and in the bay of the Hikka Trans hotel and, of course, jumped on the waves near the Nippon and Apollo hotels

We rested for the second time in November, the Hikaduwa region, (it’s already hard to remember the area) where the big turtles lay their eggs, fortunately there were beach boys with us, so they told us that the ocean was kind of crazy, with some kind of whirlpools. In general, ours went the boys began to swim and one began to be dragged into the ocean, there were no lifeguards on the beach, the locals were not fools, they saved only ours, they miraculously pulled them out. taken away. The guests of our hotel were shocked by what they saw. So the west coast is a storm. But Trincomalee is a fairy tale! We rested there for 10 days in 3 hotels in Nilaveli, Chao Blue and Pigeon, there were no people at all, we lived like some kind of Robinsons.

Sri Lanka is worth visiting all year round. It rains all year round in the evening or during the day for short periods. There are periods of cloudy weather, but this rather saves from burns, so it does not overshadow the rest.
And about being pulled into the ocean, drowned people - it's true. According to unofficial data, every week 1 tourist returns in zinc clothes.
You need to swim only constantly touching the bottom with your feet. Sri Lanka does not like self-confident swimmers.
