When is the best time to go to Bali. When is the best time to go to the island? Surfing in Bali when is the best time to go

A bright tropical paradise, thoughts of which instantly plunge into sweet bliss, Bali is a real diamond of the Indonesian “necklace”, the smallest island in the Malay archipelago. Find out on the Tour Calendar why the best time for a beach holiday on the Island of the Gods is the period from May to August, and for cultural and educational tourism this period stretches until October.

Tourist season in Bali

Bali is the most developed resort in Indonesia, whose income has made it the richest and most visited island in Southeast Asia. Today, Bali is included in the list of elite tourist destinations, where most of the world's hotel chains are represented. However, you can relax here for more modest money, and in excellent conditions. It has created maximum conditions for a comfortable pastime, it is worth mentioning the first-class level of service - Bali is given the 1st place in terms of the number of attendants "per head" of a tourist. All this, as well as stunningly beautiful nature, snow-white beaches, rich traditions and colorful ritual holidays annually attract up to 3 million people from all over the world to the island. The main season with the largest influx of tourists is the period from May to October, which is the most "dry" period of the year.

High season

The high season in Bali is "dictated" by the local weather. This is the time when the island experiences the least amount of precipitation and the hot weather is more forgiving. In the summer, in the midst of vacations and school holidays, Bali turns into a real mecca for tourists. Beaches are the main attraction this time of year. The resort contingent is represented to the greatest extent by Europeans, Americans and Russians, whose speech is heard here more and more often. By the way, Russia is in the top 10 countries with the largest number tourists vacationing in Bali. Probably largely due to direct charter flights in high season. Avid surfers also visit the island, because this time is considered ideal for practicing this sport. If you have planned a trip to Bali for summer period, be prepared to spend a decent amount of money, because at the peak of the season the cost of services and accommodation on the island soars almost to the ceiling. Pre-booking a hotel is a must if you are traveling on your own and want to avoid a long search for an overnight stay upon arrival on the island. Many tourists "grab" tidbits six months before the expected departure date.

low season

Bali is located just 8 ° south of the equator, so the island all year round warm. Winter is hotter than summer. However, this is the tropical rainy season, so there are not as many tourists as in summer. If you say that the period from November to April is the low season, then this will not be entirely accurate. Still, the New Year and Christmas holidays are the second wind of many tourist destinations, and Bali is no exception in this regard. Therefore, December and January would be more correct to rank as the middle season. In winter, the island is popular mainly with Australians and New Zealanders. A little less comes to the resorts of Russians. One of the reasons for this is the lack of direct regular flights with the capital, and connecting flights are much more expensive. Although some airlines arrange various promotions on the eve of the winter holidays, they are designed for a limited number of people.

Beach season in Bali

In Bali you will find many magnificent beaches with fine sand in almost all shades - from snow-white and golden to black, volcanic origin. The water temperature during the year fluctuates between +26 °C..+28 °C, and in principle you can swim in any season. However, beach holidays are less comfortable from November to April, when the rainy season is in full swing, during which there are often storms. February usually blows southwest winds causing great excitement at sea. As a result, the water in the ocean becomes cloudy, and debris and algae wash up on the beaches. Agree, swimming in such conditions brings little pleasure. However, the wet season is not always "classic". In some months, precipitation may not fall at all. This is especially true of the Bukit-Badung Peninsula, located in the south of Bali. As for a beach holiday in Bali in the summer, this is what God himself ordered. At this time, the island has the lowest standards local residents temperatures, rainy days are kept to a minimum, and sea water is cleaner. Speaking of bathing season, it is worth mentioning such features of it as ebbs and flows. They happen every day for a whole year, and each time at a different time. Usually this information is available on any beach on the island. But the Tour-Calendar invites you to familiarize yourself with their schedule in advance, for this, press .

Surf season

Surfing in Bali is as popular as swimming on the beaches. Hundreds of surf spots are scattered throughout the island, but most of them are concentrated in its southwestern part - in Uluwatu and Kuta. The last resort, by the way, is more designed for beginners. The best time to surf, and the safest, is the dry season. The surf season usually opens in July. In summer, Padang Padang Beach attracts world-famous surfers. They, as well as just lovers of big waves, are waiting for the start of the most grandiose contest in Indonesia, called the "Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang". Waiting because exact dates there are no competitions, they depend on mother nature. After all, the opening of the contest will happen when ideal "pipes" with a height of at least 3 meters appear. In addition to summer, people come to Bali to ride in winter. In this case, preference should be given to the east coast.

diving season

They also go to Bali for diving adventures full of adventurism. The diversity of the aquatic ecosystem of the Indonesian archipelago amazes even the scientists themselves. Finding yourself in the realm of exotic fish, seeing sharks with your own eyes, going down to the remains of sunken ships - all this is very possible here. The island welcomes not only experienced divers, but also "green" beginners. The most favorable time for diving is in calm weather, when there are no strong undercurrents and winds that disturb the water. In general, this is the dry season, falling between May and October. However, some dive sites have their own specific time with the best or, conversely, the worst conditions for this sport. For example: it is better to go to Menjangan Island and Tulamben from April to November, but Padang Bai from June to September should be avoided.

fishing season

Fishing in the Indian Ocean is very exciting and spectacular. Just imagine, here you can easily catch a 100-kg fish! Ocean tuna, mackerel, giant tuna, wahoo - the list of trophy specimens can be listed for a very long time. If you have the means, be sure to try fishing trawling, focused on fishing huge fish. There are many fishing companies in Bali, so this activity can be a pleasant addition to the main beach holiday. There are also special tours for 7-10 days with a departure from Russia, which can be found in travel agencies major cities of the country. Typically, such trips are organized during the dry season, although in fact people fish in Bali all year round. But since this pleasure costs a lot of money, and the flight time is very long, we still do not recommend taking risks.

The best time for excursions

In Bali, you can go to see numerous temples, explore the ancient cities with fascinating architecture, feed the monkeys near the village of Ubud, take part in an elephant safari, and if it suddenly becomes unbearably hot, a trip inland, where whole hectares of rice terraces are sprawled, will be a good solution. There is always a pleasant chill. Bali is a small island, so if you wish, you can fully explore it in two weeks. Of course, good weather here it will be as a tailwind, because tropical showers, although they go only in the early morning and late evening, wash out the roads great. Therefore, for excursion trips it is best to prefer the dry season.

Wellness season

Bali is a volcanic island. Hot thermal springs countries attract hundreds of thousands of tourists to this area. Bathing in them rejuvenates, relieves fatigue and relieves joint pain. And ingestion stimulates work gastrointestinal tract. One of these places of pilgrimage (it’s impossible to say otherwise) are the thermal baths near the crater lake Batur and the hot springs of Air Panas, a kilometer from the village of Banjare. The largest concentration of people here can be observed during the tourist season, and throughout the year - on weekends, when Indonesians come here. Bali is also famous for its spa treatments, which are offered in every hotel. This island is the leader in the number of SPA-salons in all of Indonesia. Whether it's flower baths, thalassotherapy or hydromassage - in just a few days you will feel the positive effect. Spa treatments are relevant throughout the year, so upon arrival in Bali, do not deny yourself this pleasure.

wedding season

The beauty of the Balinese wedding ceremony is very difficult to put into words. Hundreds of thousands of lovers annually choose this island for their most big day in your life - the day of marriage. And it does not matter that the laws of Bali do not officially register the marriages of those who profess Christianity or Catholicism, since even a symbolic ceremony in this tropical paradise is a cocktail of vivid emotions, romance and beautiful traditions, the taste of which will be remembered for a lifetime. The mass wedding season in Bali falls on the summer months, because this is the most favorable time of the year in terms of weather conditions. Due to high demand, as we approach summer season the probability that you will be able to tie the knot on a certain day you want is reduced to zero. In order for everything to turn out the way you want it, you need to apply to the organizer and pay for the services at least 6-7 months in advance.

religious season

Bali is the island of a thousand temples. The way of life of the Balinese is completely dictated by their religion - Hindu Dharma, which is a mixture of classical Hinduism, Buddhism, spiritualism with the cult of ancestors. Here they believe in demons and daily appease the spirits with small offerings in the form of small baskets of flowers and rice, which can be seen on absolutely every street and even in restaurants. The island celebrates a great multitude religious holidays, sometimes simply shocking Europeans. For example, the cremation ceremony for the islanders is the most important celebration, in their opinion, where it is customary to dance and have fun. And sometimes tourists become unwitting witnesses of this action, often taking place on the beach. Despite the fact that only 5% of Muslims live in Bali, millions of believers from all over Indonesia flock here during Ramadan. But the islanders consider the following to be the most sacred events: the 10-day Galungan holiday in honor of the victory of good over evil, celebrated every 210 days; Nyeli is the first day of the Balinese New Year, which is spent in absolute silence, sitting at home and praying (even tourists are asked to stay in hotels, and Denpasar airport does not work on this day); Odalan - the three-day anniversary of the temple (each temple has its own date) and many others.

Time for holidays and festivals

It is very difficult to understand at what time certain festivities will take place in Bali, since the Balinese live according to their own special calendar, or rather, even two. But it is clear that during the tourist season, which peaks in summer and early autumn, the cultural life of the island is enriched by many events designed primarily for dear guests. In early June, the Pesta Kesenian Bali Arts Festival opens in Denpasar, during which tourists can get acquainted with the culture and ancient traditions of the island. A whole month passes under the auspices of national dances, ancient rituals, performances and musical concerts. In September, Ubud hosts a 6-day literature festival. And in October, Kuta hosts the grandiose Kuta Carnival, the opening of which is held by a thousand surfers. As part of the carnival, a large-scale gastronomic festival is organized, in which 60 of the best restaurants of the resort take part. In January-February, Bali celebrates the Chinese New Year (the island has up to 150,000 representatives of this nation), and at the end of March - in mid-April, the indigenous people of the island celebrate the New Year. The holiday lasts exactly 5 days and is very religious in nature: two days before NG, “Melasti” is the day of purification, followed by “Pengrupuk” - the rite of expelling evil spirits, on the 1st day of NG there is “Nyepi” - the day of silence and meditation , The 2nd day is dedicated to "Ngembak Nyepi" - the day of forgiveness.

In resorts and coastal areas, as a rule, there are high temperatures, in the lowlands the weather can be a little more moderate, and in the highlands it can be much cooler, especially at night.

There are as many vacationers on New Year's holidays as in the high season, and accommodation prices soar.

Locals call the rainy period "Russian" - big number travelers from Russia and the CIS countries come at this time to the resorts.

Many people are worried about how the climate is transferred to Bali. Everyone is individual: some say that due to the combination of high humidity and heat they feel unwell, others, on the contrary, say that periodic showers refresh and relieve stuffiness.

The first thing you need to know about Bali is that there is approximately the same temperature of water and air all year round: 27-30 degrees Celsius. Real summer 365 days a year. That is why tourists come to Bali throughout the year and there is no clearly defined tourist seasonality. But at the same time, in the weather itself there is big difference between, say, January and July. More on this below in the article.

By the way, answers to many frequently asked questions about Bali, as well as a guide around the island, are in the new Bali application for iphone and ipad. More on .

Climate in Bali

The climate in Bali is called equatorial monsoon. What does it mean? And the fact that Bali lies near the equator, so there are no sharp temperature changes from season to season, here even the sun rises and sets almost always at the same time: it rises at 6 in the morning and starts to set at 6 in the evening. During the day, the temperature also does not change much, although it drops at night, you can still walk in summer clothes even at night. There are not four seasons in Bali, as we are usually used to, but only two: dry season(April-October) and rain season(November-March).

By the way, in detail about the weather in each month, see below!

Seasons

In those months when it is winter in Russia, the rainy season in Bali, its main peak (when it rains quite often) falls on December and January. Yes, New Year in Bali you often have to celebrate in a raincoat :-) The dry season falls on April-October, with the most pleasant weather in July-August, at this time in Bali it is not as hot and stuffy as in all other months.

What is the rainy season in Bali?

The rainy season in Bali is not as severe as in some other Asian countries. Although it rains often, it starts quickly and ends just as quickly, immediately after the rain the sun comes out and it becomes dry and pleasant again. Most often, rains during the rainy season come only at night, and by morning everything has time to dry up, sometimes it can rain during the day, usually it lasts an hour or two, and the rest of the time there is no rain.

But nature is an unpredictable thing, and for more than five years of living in Bali, I also came across relatively “light” rainy seasons, when there were a maximum of one or two rainy days a week, and extremely severe rainy seasons, when there are more rainy days in a month than sunny ones; and when most of the time it is overcast and it rains alternately all day. Rainy season in Bali rainy autumn in St. Petersburg, when it’s better not to leave the house without an umbrella, although it happens that you carry an umbrella for weeks, but it doesn’t come in handy :-) In general, it’s hard to predict whether a rainy week or a dry one will fall on your week, you can only hope for good luck :-) Or come during the dry season when there is not much rain.

The rainiest months are usually January-February.

In addition to rain and clouds in the sky, if there are a couple of minuses in the rainy season. The first minus is very high humidity which makes the weather seem hotter than it is. Quite stuffy and hot, especially during the day and especially if there are no clouds in the sky. For those who do not tolerate heat well, the rainy season may seem too hot. The second disadvantage of the rainy season is dirty beaches. The beach in Kuta is considered the dirtiest, and so are the beaches in Canggu. The cleanest beaches in Nusa Dua and in Sanur, as they are better cleansed there. But from plastic waste no one is safe in the ocean. :(About the dirty ocean in the rainy season, I did video release You can watch it for more details.

The pluses of the rainy season are the warm weather and the water is warm as fresh milk. Warm day and night, you can walk around in summer clothes around the clock. Well, one more minus, at this time there are a little less tourists than, say, in July-August and there are more chances to book accommodation on the spot. But of course, not on New Year's Eve and not on Catholic Christmas.

If you came to Bali to rest and you were caught by prolonged rains, then try to escape from them on - these are the islands neighboring Bali, they are far enough away for there to be completely different - usually very sunny - weather, but at the same time close enough for in order to get there by speedboat in a few hours.

The dry season in Bali is for those who don't like extreme heat.

The dry season begins around April, when the rains are less and less felt, the humidity drops and there is a feeling of such pleasant freshness - thanks to light breezes.

The peak of the dry season in Bali falls on July-August, and in the evenings it even gets a little cool, at least if you go somewhere on a scooter late at night, you will need a sweater, and sometimes jeans, which you have already forgotten about during the season rain. Also during the summer months, the wind often blows during the day, so it often gets fresh and pleasant and does not feel as hot as in winter. For those who do not like heat and stuffiness, BaliBlogger recommends coming to Bali during these months.

Of the minuses of the dry season: at this time there are most tourists, especially in July-August, and often housing prices rise and good options you have to book well in advance. Another minus: the water is a little colder than in the rainy season, it drops to 26-27 degrees. Which is still of course warm, but if you plan to surf, especially early in the morning or in the evening, and you are cold, then it is better to stock up on a 2mm wetsuit. A short one is enough.

Current weather forecast

I am endlessly asked questions from the category “what is the weather like in Bali right now” :-)

I recommend using forecast sites, they usually show quite clearly for the next week how things will be with rains and cloudy days. In my experience, pretty clear forecasts (even hourly for the next day) on the WunderGround and AccuWeather sites. You can even download the application on your phone and watch the forecast for Bali. Ideally, look at the area where you plan to stay (or the nearest one), there are slight differences in different parts Bali.

What is the weather like in Bali in a particular month?

January:

Air: 29-32°C | water: 28 °C

January is a wet and rainy month, the probability of rain in Bali is the highest. If this is your first trip to Southeast Asia, then perhaps January is the best time to visit Bali. There is a chance to spoil the impression!

How often will it rain? At night (and sometimes in the morning) it will rain almost every day, plus a couple of days a week it can be completely cloudy and very rainy: when it rains all day with short breaks. On “lucky” days, it will likely rain for 2-3 hours a day. The rains in January are usually heavy, real downpours, when you get soaked to the skin in a minute. And although when there is no rain, everything is sunny and beautiful, but quite often there are cloudy days, even if it does not rain. Blue sky in January is not always :-)

Well, the main disadvantage: there is a lot of garbage in the ocean and on the beach, which is carried out by rains. I made a separate video about garbage in the ocean, you can watch it. It’s especially bad on the beaches of Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu: (And it’s also very hot and stuffy during the rainy season. It feels like a steam room and it’s like 35 degrees in the sun :-) The sun, by the way, is very harsh at this time, don’t forget to use it. You burn in Bali during the rainy season (and not only) even from the fact that you rode a bike for half an hour with bare shoulders or legs.

If you come for 2 weeks, then you may be lucky and it will rain only at night and maybe a day or two very rainy, or you may not be lucky and completely rainy days will fall on half of your vacation.

February

Air: 29-32°C | water: 28 °C

February by the rules last month rainy season. And usually it is not as severe as January, although, on the contrary, there were years when more rain fell in February. It's the weather and it's unpredictable :-)

Usually the number of days with rain is small, it rains at night or an hour or two early in the morning (while you are still sleeping), and it is sunny during the day. February in Bali is quite hot and the air is still humid. If there is no rain, then it is sunny and warm, as befits a tropical summer.

What does a “bad” rainy week look like in Bali in February? It can rain during the day, usually an hour or two, and then everything dries up and the sun is bright. But the beaches (especially in Kuta) can still be filthy due to the garbage that the ocean brings out.

It is believed that in February there is a slight decline in tourists, so many people choose this month. But there is a very high risk of rain, I usually advise you to come to Bali from March-April if the prospect of rain scares you.

March

Air: 29-31°C | water: 29 °C

March in Bali is a border month in terms of weather. It seems that the rainy season is over, but the real “dry” season has not yet begun either. The weather this month is very unpredictable. One year March is dry, the other year, on the contrary, it is slightly rainy. But rains are still rare and almost never protracted, as in January-February. Usually for the whole of March there are no more than 5-7 very rainy days (when it rains almost round the clock). On other days, it can sometimes rain for half an hour or an hour, and even then not in all areas of Bali, but it’s sunny and hot, but still humid. This means that at the sunniest lunchtime it will fry and soar :-) Do not forget to look for a shade and use sunscreens otherwise you'll get burned.

In March, it is so warm that you will not need anything other than summer clothes - as in almost other months of the year. It's eternal summer in Bali :-)

April

Air: 28-30°C | water: 29 °C

April to October is the dry season in Bali. April is one of my favorite months in Bali. The high season and the bustle around the May holidays have not yet begun, but the rainy season has already ended and it is becoming noticeably drier. The temperature of water and air is almost the same, the water is like fresh milk, it is pleasant to swim and surf. At the same time, it is not as hot and stuffy as during the months of the rainy season - December, January and February.

The weather in April is very pleasant and if you are coming to Bali for the first time, then any month from April (to the end of October) is a great choice for a holiday in Bali. Plus, starting from April, the problem of dirty beaches and the ocean disappears, when the garbage is carried out by rains. No rain, no trash. Another argument in favor of going to Bali in the dry season.

May

Air: 28-30°C | water: 28 °C

May in Bali is a good time to travel to Bali. In May there is no more rain, the ocean is warm and pleasant, the air temperature is warm and summery. It is not as humid as during the rainy season, so the heat is not as badly tolerated. In May, it is sunny almost every day, you can swim and sunbathe, and really enjoy the hot tropical weather.

It is thanks to the good weather in Bali in May that this is the high season for Russian tourists, a lot of people come for the May holidays. If you want to avoid the high season and higher prices in Bali, plan on the second half of May, which is even more pleasant in terms of weather than the first half.

June

Air: 27-30°C | water: 27 °C

Starting in June, a real dry season begins in Bali. What does this mean for us? In June-August, the most pleasant and coolest weather in Bali. Yes, it is still the tropics and it rarely falls below 28 degrees - both air and water temperatures. But this month, daytime breezes begin to kick in, making the hot midday weather a little more pleasant. There is no rain this month, every day is sunny, blue sky with almost no clouds and a nice warm ocean. The ocean in Bali, however, is warm all year round. At night, the air temperature is a little “cooler” - up to as much as 25 degrees :-)

Toward the end of June, the highest season in Bali begins - this is July and August. So if you want to catch dry season weather but don't want to overpay for high season prices, then June is a great choice.

July August

Air: 26-28°C | water: 27 °C

July and August are the busiest months in Bali. Prices for air tickets and accommodation are jumping up, but the number of tourists is not decreasing. It is understandable: in these months, in my opinion, the most pleasant summer weather in Bali. There is no humidity and stuffiness like the months of the rainy season. The heat is greatly brightened up by daily light prizes. The ocean is pleasantly warm and refreshing in summer. From clothing, take with you all light summer.

In general, July and August are the peak of the dry season in Bali. If you are visiting Bali for the first time and wondering when is the best time, then July and August are definitely the most pleasant “dry” months in Bali. Every day is sunny, but at the same time the least hot of all the other months in Bali.

By the way, if you are a surfer, take a short wetsuit 1-2mm, many do without it, but we who live in Bali are especially cold in the mornings without a wetsuit, so it’s better to take it if you have one. In addition, if you are riding a bike late at night or at dawn, it is better to have a shirt or a light sweatshirt with you, as it is a little bit chilly. Although experience shows that those who are in Asia for the first time are cool in Bali even at night. The temperature in the south of the island rarely falls below 25 degrees.

September

Air: 27-29°C | water: 27 °C

September in Bali is another good month in terms of weather and seasons. The insane flow of tourists in July-August is already subsiding a little, while the weather is still “dry” without rain and pleasant summer. There is no suffocating heat, but there are no summer winds either, so it’s a real warm summer.

It’s good in Bali in September that there are no longer inflated prices for housing and tickets, a little less tourists and more opportunities to explore the island without being in traffic jams :-) I remember that my first trip to Bali was in the second half of September and I I liked the weather very much. Compared to Russia, it certainly seemed hot, but the subsequent experience of life in Bali proved that it was not the hottest yet, and not at all as stuffy as it happens during the months of the rainy season in December or January.

October

Air: 27-29°C | water: 27 °C

October in Bali is similar to September, so you can just re-read everything I said above. October is still the dry season, though almost one of its last months.

But still, October is unlikely to rain. And even if there are several rainy days in a month, they will last a couple of hours at night or at dawn, and the rest of the time there will be sunny weather and a blue clear sky.

October is a great month for trips to Bali, usually not so expensive tickets, as it is a relative off-season (although there are enough tourists in Bali in all months).

November

Air: 29°C | water: 28 °C

In Bali in November, the rainy season begins to slowly begin. What does this mean? Although it is hardly worth waiting for the rains exactly on November 1, most likely there will be the same clear and sunny weather as in the same November. But gradually it becomes hotter and wetter, because of this humidity, the heat during the day is perceived as more stuffy. In November, the rains can be towards the end of the month, when there are rainy nights (but everything dries up by morning) or maybe another day will be cloudy.

But from the pros - this is a real off-season, it's worth catching. Tourists are becoming a little less, while for fans of the heat - this is the best time. Like the fresh milk of the ocean, hot weather even at night. You can walk around in a T-shirt and shorts around the clock.

But still, you need to understand that November in Bali is a month on the border of the dry season and the rainy season. And in fact, this is one of the most unpredictable months in terms of rain. One year is quite dry, and then the next, on the contrary, is rainy and often overcast or raining several times a week. But still, usually not every day and not all day.

December

Air: 29-20°C | water: 29 °C

And although December in Bali and new year holidays- this is another high season in Bali, I still think that this is the worst time to travel here. Besides the fact that everything is expensive and there are many tourists, the weather is quite wacky and unpredictable. December is the first month of the rainy season, which will last until February. Don't expect the sun to shine and the sky to be blue throughout your trip. There is a very high chance of rain in a day or two.

rain during wet season in Bali, it's not just little drizzling rain. These are real tropical showers. And although during the day they usually pass in half an hour or an hour, and then everything dries up instantly, but during the rain itself, you most likely do not want to be on the street - the chance of getting wet to the skin in a couple of minutes is about 100%. :-)

You may be lucky with December and there will be few rainy days: for example, they will only go at night or an hour or two a day. But it can also be an unsuccessful December, when the sky is overcast all day and it rains alternately for days. On such days I usually sit at home, with tea with lemon and do not go out anywhere. But when you're a tourist, you don't really want to stay at home, do you? Again, I do not want to say that this will be your entire vacation, but there is a risk that there will be many such days. If this is your first trip to Southeast Asia, it may not be worth spoiling the impression by coming during the rainy season. In addition, on New Year's Eve it is also insanely expensive in Bali.

Another argument is not to come to Bali during the rainy season (which means in December). Every year it becomes in Bali. Five years ago, only Kuta was a dirty beach during the rainy season. Now it is even such clean and beautiful beaches as Nusa Dua or Bukit. And I think every year it will get worse. If you want to spend every day on the beach, don't come during the rainy season. Otherwise you will hate Bali :-)

seasons for

You can surf in Bali all year round, but be aware that depending on the seasons, some surf spots may be unsuitable for surfing.

For example, during the rainy season (namely, from December to March), the surf spots in southwest Bali are not very suitable for surfing: Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, Prerenan, Balangan, Uluwatu and so on. And Kuta itself at the peak of the rainy season (especially in January-February) is not the most the best place for surfing: the beaches get quite dirty, as during the rainy season garbage from the village rivers is carried into the ocean. But in the rainy season, the surf spots of the southeast coast begin to “work”: from Nusa Dua and Greenball and further north - Serangan, Keramas and others.

In the dry season - more precisely from March to November - the most suitable spots for surfing are Kuta, Canggu, and the Bukit Peninsula: Jimbaran, Balangan, Dreamland, etc. - and all the spots on southwest coast who did not work in winter - Canggu and so on.

The information above is more for independent and advanced surfers, because if you are just a learning surfer, sometimes it’s just better to go to poorly working and off-season spots: the waves there will not be ideal, but there will be an order of magnitude fewer people and it will be easier for you to ride, since no one will interfere.

The peak of the surfing season begins in May and lasts until the end of August - beginning of September. At this time, big waves often come, there are a lot of tourists in Bali, which also affects the situation on the water: most lineups get very crowded and in order to catch a lot of waves, you will need good skills. In this sense, the rainy season is also more suitable for training, as the size and quality of the waves are more suitable for training.

Surfing training in Bali is conducted all year round, most often beginners are taught at surf spots on the beach in Kuta, and “advanced” ones, depending on the season, are taken on surf trips (special surf trips for half a day or one day) to those places where this moment there are waves of the required size and quality - these are often Batu Bolong and Serangan.

Bali has fairly warm water all year round, but if you come in June-August and don’t feel particularly hardened, BaliBlogger advises taking a light short wetsuit or wetsuit with you (even a thin 2mm thick is enough), as in summer the water seems a little cool, if you spend 2 hours or more in it. However, many people continue to ride at this time without any wetsuits.

High season in Bali: when to expect the most big flow tourists?

In Bali, the two main peaks of the influx of tourists are the Christmas and New Year holidays (that is, the period from mid-December to mid-January) and July-August. At this time, ticket prices jump, prices for hotels / villas in Bali rise, there are a lot of cars and scooters on the roads. In general, a real full house. And of course, we must not forget about the May holidays, when a large number Russian tourists rushes to various resorts, including Bali.

So if you come to Bali during the high season, don't wait low prices for tickets and accommodation, and if you go, get ready for the fact that there will be many other students besides you.

If you do not like noisy flows of tourists and prefer a slightly calmer time, then choose the off-season in Bali: March-April or October-November. These are very pleasant months in terms of weather and not so "crazy" in terms of crowds of tourists and prices for tourist services.

Video about the rainy season in Bali:

When is the best time to go on vacation?

Each month in Bali comes with certain advantages and disadvantages. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with them before your trip.

rainy season

Despite the tropical rainy season, Bali is still very popular during the New Year and Christmas. But the number of Russian tourists in winter is noticeably less, since at this time there is no direct communication with the capital of Russia.

Surfers choose the southwestern part of the island, for example, Uluwatu and Kutu. In winter, it is better to do this water sport in the east.

In the summer, Padang Padang Beach hosts the biggest surf contest ever. "Rip Curl Cup Padang Padang". No one can name a specific day, since everything depends on nature. The organizers are waiting for the sea "curls" to be more than 3 meters high.

This island has a lot of surf schools. During your vacation, you can attend surfing lessons and learn the basic rules.

Diving

Experts say that Bali is best suited for diving, because the water temperature even in winter does not fall below 25 degrees. Diving is possible all year round. The place is suitable for both beginners and professionals.

Pilgrimage

Adherents of various faiths flock here, although Bali has its own religion - hindu dharma. Here they believe in evil spirits and daily make offerings to them in the form of baskets of rice and flowers.

Sometimes tourists who witness Balinese rituals are left in complete shock from their conduct.

For example, on the beach you can stumble upon a crowd of dancing and having fun Balinese, who have just seen off a relative on their last journey.

Usually pilgrimage season begins at the end of summer - the beginning. It lasts quite a long time. It happens during the rainy season, when there are fewer sunny days, and the island is empty, because the tourists are leaving. At this time, many people gather together, say prayers, enter a special state of consciousness. Hikes are made to the sacred mountains and places of the island.

It is difficult to determine the exact beginning of the pilgrimage, because locals or experts in this field know about it.

It's time for the holidays

It is difficult to say in which month there are more holidays on. Almost every month there is significant days for locals when there are festive events on the island:

Balinese New Year. Happens on a new moon in March or April. This is a day of meditation, the island is quiet and calm. You can not work and have fun;

It is better to visit not restaurants for tourists, but local cafes. They have a lot of delicious local dishes, and their cost is much less than in tourist places;
Central, most famous more expensive. There are lesser known, but incredibly comfortable resorts a little further from the center. Accommodation in such places is much more profitable.
