Aslam Lareef from Sri Lanka
“Galle is located in the south coast of Sri Lanka. The spot actually called "Dewata" five minutes drive from Galle towards Matara. It is a Beach Break and the Paradise for the bigginers. Dewata beach located on a bay. Also called as the bay of bonovosta. Breaks are for both sides left and right. Galle is a perfect spot for all year around. June-September waves are
5-10ft with the south west monsoon.”
