Bali is one of the few destinations in the world where you can surf all year round. But the conditions change from one month to the next, and especially from one season to the next. Knowing when to go surfing in Bali means maximizing your chances of finding waves suited to your level, with fewer crowds in the water. Here is the month-by-month guide.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Can you surf in Bali all year round?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, and that is precisely what makes the island's strength. Bali has two differently exposed coastlines: the west coast (Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Canggu, the Bukit Peninsula) and the east coast (Nusa Dua, Sanur, Keramas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the wind blows in the wrong direction, onshore on one coast, it blows in the right direction on the other. As a result, there is almost always a spot working somewhere on the island, regardless of the time of year. Moreover, the water stays between 27 and 29 \u00b0C twelve months a year, so no wetsuit is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real question is therefore not whether there will be waves, but which ones, and where.<\/p>\n\n\n

The dry season, from April to October<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the most famous and busiest period. The prevailing winds come from the southeast and blow offshore on the west coast, smoothing out the waves and making them hollower and better formed. The Indian Ocean swell is also more powerful and more consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
