Denpasar Sea Temperature

Peak dry season. Some of the driest and coolest days of the year.

July is Denpasar's peak dry season month and the heart of international tourist season. Rainfall is minimal at 55mm across just 4 days. Temperatures settle at 30°C highs and 23°C lows — comfortable and consistent. Humidity drops to 71%, its lowest point of the year, and the combination of low humidity and strong trade winds makes the heat very manageable. Sea temperatures along the south coast are around 26–27°C — cooler than the wet season, clearer for snorkelling and diving. The UV index is 6 in July, the lowest level of the year, though sunscreen is still required. Strong southerly winds mean the west-facing surf breaks like Kuta and Legian are in top form. The Bali Arts Festival continues through July 11 at the Art Centre. The city of Denpasar itself is busy but not overcrowded compared to the resort strips of Kuta and Seminyak. July is also the start of an influx of school-holiday travellers from Australia and Europe.

Ubud Weather Averages

Coolest month in Ubud. Clear skies, minimal rain, refreshing temperatures.

July is the coolest month in Ubud and peak dry season at its most intense. Rainfall is just 60mm over 5 days, and temperatures drop to their annual lows of 27°C highs and 20°C lows. Humidity falls to 73%. The UV index is 6. The highland air in July carries a distinctive freshness — some mornings at sunrise feel more akin to a temperate climate than a tropical one, with temperatures below 20°C before 7am. Views are crystal clear, rice fields are either harvested or in active growth at various stages creating a mosaic of colours, and the surrounding hills and Mount Agung are visible with unusual clarity. July is peak tourist season globally, and Ubud fills with international visitors. The village streets of Ubud centre, Penestanan, and Campuhan see the highest pedestrian traffic of the year. Despite the crowds, the highland setting means Ubud never feels as oppressively packed as the south coast resort areas.

15 Best Beach Clubs in Seminyak for Sunsets & Drinks (2026)

Our 17 Favourite Things To Do in Seminyak, Bali [2026]

Dry and breezy. One of the best weather months with reliable sunshine.

July is Seminyak at full capacity — and for many travelers, that is precisely the point. The dry season delivers near-perfect beach conditions: just four rain days, humidity at a very comfortable 70%, and consistent southeast trades keeping the air fresh and the surf offshore. The west-coast swell becomes remarkably consistent, producing clean lines at Seminyak and Berawa beaches that attract both confident surfers and first-timers taking lessons. The resort buzzes from morning to midnight. Ku De Ta and Potato Head fill by midday, requiring advance booking for sunbeds. Jalan Kayu Aya (Eat Street) is shoulder-to-shoulder in the evenings, and Seminyak's bars and late-night venues are at their most lively. The Bali Arts Festival continues through July 11, adding cultural depth to what is otherwise a thoroughly hedonistic peak season. Accommodation prices are at their highest outside of Christmas-New Year week, with decent villas often requiring bookings made months in advance. For those who want the full Seminyak resort experience at its most vibrant, July delivers it — at a price.

The month-long festival concludes on July 11 with the most prestigious closing ceremony performances including traditional dance and gamelan competitions.

Bali Arts Festival final weeks

Australian winter school holidays bring a significant wave of family visitors to Seminyak, noticeably increasing crowds at family-friendly venues from mid-July through August.

Canggu Surf Spots - Batu Bolong & Echo Beach

Best Beaches in Canggu Bali (for Surfing)!

Peak dry season. Reliable offshore winds, clean swell, and sunny skies.

July is Canggu's undisputed peak month — maximum surf conditions meeting maximum visitor numbers. The weather is textbook: just four rain days, humidity at a very comfortable 70%, reliable offshore southeast winds from 6am until midday grooming the waves at Echo Beach and Batu Bolong into some of the cleanest faces in Bali. Swell heights average 4–8 feet at Echo, though sets can push 10 feet during the biggest swells. The lineups reflect peak season — Echo Beach can have 60–80 surfers in the water during prime morning hours, and Old Man's, while less intense, still fills up. Outside the water, Canggu is at maximum social energy: restaurants along Jalan Batu Bolong require reservations, Atlas and FINNS Beach Club are packed by midday, and even the usually casual Old Man's Wednesday events sell out. Villas require advance booking months ahead for July. The trade-off — absolutely reliable surf and weather — makes this the definitive peak month for surfers who don't mind crowds.

The Bali Arts Festival concludes on July 11 with final performances of traditional dance, shadow puppetry, and gamelan competitions at the Taman Werdhi Budaya Art Centre in Denpasar.

Australian winter school holidays bring a major wave of family and young adult visitors to Canggu, noticeably increasing competition for beach club space, surf lessons, and villa accommodation.

Lovina Dolphin Watching — Bali Surya Tours

Driest period begins. Cool, dry, and breezy — perfect north coast weather.

July marks the peak of the dry season on Lovina's north coast. Rainfall averages just 30 mm over 3 days, and the strong southeast trade winds that batter Bali's south-facing beaches leave Lovina largely untouched — the sheltering mountains block most of that wind, leaving the Bali Sea calm. Temperatures sit at a comfortable 30°C with humidity at 68%, making July arguably the most comfortable month for outdoor activity. While southern Bali is overrun with peak-season tourists, Lovina retains its unhurried character — a significant advantage for travellers who want reliable weather without the crowds. Dolphin-watching tours continue with very high success rates; the morning seas are like glass before the day's light breeze builds. Snorkeling visibility is exceptional, often 20 metres or more. The Bali Arts Festival continues in Denpasar. July also brings stronger afternoon breezes along the beachfront, which make evening walks and dining particularly pleasant. Water temperature drops slightly — around 27–28°C — which is still warm enough for extended snorkeling sessions. Local dive operators report this as one of the most reliable months for night dives along the Lovina reef wall. Despite being Bali's busiest overall month, Lovina accommodation rarely sells out; walk-in rates are still achievable though online pre-booking gets the best rooms.

The month-long Bali Arts Festival runs from June into mid-July at Denpasar's Werdi Budaya complex. Final week performances are often the most spectacular.

USAT Liberty Shipwreck 11 reasons — worldadventuredivers.com

Amed Climate Averages — en.climate-data.org

Bali Diving USAT Liberty — diving-indo.com

Driest period. Virtually no rain, crystal-clear seas, and comfortable temperatures.

July delivers Amed at its diving peak. Just 15 mm of rain over a single day, the lowest humidity of the year at 66%, and daytime temperatures of 31°C with a cool 23°C overnight make this the most comfortable month. The southeast trades blow steadily, keeping the air fresh. Underwater visibility at Tulamben's USAT Liberty wreck regularly touches 25–30 metres — extraordinary clarity that allows divers to take in the entire 120-metre hull from a single vantage point. The wreck's population of reef fish is astounding: giant trevally, barracuda, surgeonfish, angelfish, and the famous bumphead parrotfish school. Sea turtles rest on the wreck structure. At depth, black tip reef sharks patrol the stern in 20–28 metres. This is also the start of the mola mola (ocean sunfish) season, when these enormous flat fish rise from the depths to be cleaned by cleaner wrasse at certain dive sites. Despite being peak season, Amed receives far fewer visitors than southern Bali; dive sites are busy in comparison to the low season but never chaotic. Early morning dives before 8 am remain peaceful. Accommodation fills up particularly on weekends — advance booking is strongly recommended.

July marks the apex of Bali's dive tourism season. Dive operators at Tulamben run multiple boats per day; early morning slots for the Liberty wreck are in highest demand.

Sanur Bali Travel Guide — theworldtravelguy.com

Peak dry season. Consistently sunny with refreshing sea breezes.

July is Sanur's peak month — the dry season is firmly established with only 40 mm of rain over 3 days and humidity at a comfortable 70%. The southeast trade winds blow strongly and consistently, making Sanur bay the top kite and wind sports destination on Bali. The Bali International Kite Festival is traditionally held at Padang Galak beach adjacent to Sanur — a spectacular annual event where enormous traditional Balinese kites (some up to 100 metres long) compete alongside international teams, with a gamelan orchestra providing the musical backdrop. Crowds gather in their thousands on the beach to watch the sky fill with colour. Beyond kites, July's conditions are outstanding for all beach and water activities: snorkeling, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and day trips to the Nusa islands. The fast boat crossing to Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida is smooth in July's calm Lombok Strait conditions. Sanur's beachfront promenade is at its liveliest in July — families from Europe, Australia, and Asia fill the walking path. Despite being peak season, Sanur retains its characteristically relaxed atmosphere compared to Seminyak or Kuta.

Annual international kite festival held at Padang Galak beach adjacent to Sanur. Enormous traditional Balinese kites (up to 100 m long) compete in ceremonial categories alongside international teams. Gamelan orchestras play throughout.
