Sri Lanka
In Sri Lanka, the tsunami arrived as a leading elevation wave a little over two hours after the earthquake (3:10 U.T., 9:10 a.m. local time) (Liu et al, 2005). Between one and three waves were reported depending upon the location.
In most cases two waves were reported, with the first about 1 m high and the second (about 10 minutes later) up to 10 m. A third wave that is believed to have been reflected off the
Maldives
and/or
India
arrived around noon and was reported to have been several metres high along the coast between
Galle
and Kaluthara.
