Probably best off checking kitebeaches.com first. Although not that much info actually, so maybe do a search on this forum or kiteforum.com

Oct~April off-shore on the west coast (NE monsoon)
June~Sept off-shore on the east coast (SW monsoon)

So, you are looking for a trip down the coast to probably Hikkaduwa or just near the airport at Negombo.

I've been there surfing 9 times and it was only on my last trip a couple of years ago I checked-out kiting potential ... not many kiters there at all ... Aragum Bay on the east coast Oct-Sept looks to have potential.

In Lanka, when it's on-shore, it's not very pleasant with lots of rain squalls usually and 'dirty' water ... quite choppy as well ...

'Mambo' a local guy, who has it all covered on the surfing scene down at Hikkaduwa, would be a good one to ask

If you have any other general travelling questions, let me know ...
