Het weer in Uluwatu, Bali, Indonesia in februari

Forum posters describe February as sitting right in the middle of Bali's wet season, with hot, humid conditions and real day-to-day rain, though posters are consistent this doesn't mean an inundation - showers typically come as downpours lasting an hour or two rather than settling in all day. One regular February visitor over five years reported only light nighttime rain each time, with daily sunshine averaging around six hours even in the wettest month. Posters flag Canggu specifically as decent for surfing in February, with light winds and some good sessions reported, though beaches along this stretch (Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Canggu) can see more rubbish wash up during the rainy season. Posters generally describe Bali as workable essentially year-round, with February's rain a real but manageable factor rather than a reason to avoid the month.

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.
