We're headed to Sri Lanka for surfing in August and all the websites I've read mention the East Coast/Arugam Bay for this time off the year and do not mention others at all.

Is it the only availabe surf spot in the country this year? Or is it just that it's the best one and we could also go to other spots (particularly on the west coast), that might just not have as great waves?
