On big SW monsoon swells, go east and find Manapaddu. The spot called Alwars at Manapad Point is one the best surfing spots in India. It is far off the beaten track and not so easily accessible. The point is a beautifully formed ancient lava flow that extends into the water and when the rights are working, expect up to a 400 yard ride followed by a long walk back to the point.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
