Clima en Uluwatu, Bali en junio

June is Bali's dry season and one of the months regulars recommend outright - clear skies, lower humidity, days around 27 to 30C. What makes Canggu specifically a June destination is the swell: the dry months from May to October are when the island's western side produces its best waves. The cost is the wind, because Canggu gets strong trade winds through June and July, which our row puts at 18.1 kph. Two caveats travel with every Bali note: the island is a stack of microclimates where it can pour in one spot and be clear a few hundred metres away, and a wet June does happen. Our row's 65.4mm across 13 days is the short-shower version. The record: 29.6C days that feel like 34C, 24.6C nights and a 28.3C sea.

Uluwatu-forum and surf-guide threads on July agree it's the peak of the low-rain season and the peak of the swell: the year's biggest groundswells arrive this month, reliable SE trade winds blow offshore into the Bukit Peninsula's west-facing breaks every morning, and rainfall runs among its lowest totals of the year. The trade-off is crowding - the lineup itself is described as resembling a small city by mid-month, though most surfers call the wave quality worth it. Wind is the other consistent theme: mornings run clean and glassy, but afternoons turn genuinely blustery, choppy enough to affect snorkeling and noticeable enough that clifftop restaurant tables catch a steady breeze through the evening. Warm, sunny days are the norm. The record: 27.4C days, 24.5C nights, 57mm across 18 days, a 27.6C sea, 73 percent humidity and 10.9 hours of sun - more scattered rain days than the guides' "minimal rainfall" framing suggests.
