Denpasar Sea Temperature

Rainy season begins. Expect afternoon tropical downpours mixed with sunny mornings.

November sees the wet season return to Denpasar. Rainfall climbs to 179mm across 17 days, and humidity rises to 80%. Temperatures remain at 31°C highs and 24°C lows. Sea temperatures warm to approximately 29°C as the thermocline shifts back. The UV index is 7. Rain arrives increasingly in the afternoons, with mornings often still clear — typically from mid-morning onwards the heat and humidity build to a tipping point before a tropical downpour breaks the pressure. This cycle becomes more predictable as November progresses. Tourism drops sharply after the October shoulder season, which means genuine low-season pricing and quiet attractions. The Melasti purification ceremony cycle may also begin in November in some years ahead of year-end observances. Nusa Penida is still accessible from Sanur in calm morning sea conditions, though afternoon swells can make the crossing rough.

Ubud Weather Averages

Rainy season starts in earnest. Lush and green everywhere.

November marks the firm return of the wet season to Ubud's highlands. Rainfall climbs to around 200mm over 18 days, and the daily afternoon rain pattern re-establishes clearly. Temperatures are 29°C highs and 22°C lows with humidity at 82%. The UV index is 7 as the sun's angle approaches the wet season position. Morning mist returns to the valleys below Campuhan and around Petanu River, and the rice paddies are once again flooded and vibrantly green. Trail conditions deteriorate from mid-November with mud appearing on the forest and ridge paths. November is one of the quietest months in Ubud for international tourists, creating a stillness in the village that reveals the actual pace of Balinese highland life: ceremonies, markets, cooking, weaving, and farming continue regardless of the weather. This is an excellent time for intensive arts and cultural study — cooking, painting, woodcarving, and silversmithing classes have full availability and instructors have time to go deep.

Insider Tips to Enjoy Bali Wet Season

Rainy season returns. Tropical downpours in the afternoon, often sunny mornings.

November marks Seminyak's return to the wet season. With 185mm of rain across 17 days, afternoon downpours are now a daily feature rather than an occasional surprise. The pattern is consistent: mornings are warm and bright — often genuinely lovely for a beach walk or café breakfast — before clouds build and rain arrives by early to mid-afternoon. For beach clubs this creates a split atmosphere: those who arrive at opening fill the early hours, then staff quietly move guests to covered areas as storms roll in. The resort's world-class restaurant and nightlife scene is unaffected by the rain, and many visitors find November's indoor pleasures — the long lunches, the spa afternoons, the cocktail bars — are actually enhanced by the moody tropical downpours outside. Hotel prices hit some of their lowest points of the year, making November a genuine budget opportunity for travelers unbothered by rain. The ocean starts to roughen as westerly weather systems assert themselves; swimming requires caution by month end.

Many hotels and villas launch November specials with complimentary spa treatments, airport transfers, and food and beverage credits to attract visitors during the quieter period.

Canggu, Digital Nomad List's No. 1, Bali

Keramas and Canggu Wrap Up Surf Report - Mid December 2025

Rainy season kicks in. Westerly storms bring heavy rain and messy surf conditions.

November is when Canggu's character truly splits between its two main audiences. For surfers, the month is largely a write-off — westerly storm swells produce powerful but messy, onshore conditions at Echo Beach that only the most experienced chargers can work with. The ocean surface is choppy and disorganized, and surf school operators cancel many lessons. For digital nomads, remote workers, and lifestyle travelers, November is perfectly functional. The co-working spaces are as busy as ever, the café scene on Jalan Batu Bolong remains fully operational, and yoga studios continue their daily schedules unaffected. Rain falls on around 18 days but follows the familiar tropical pattern of bright mornings followed by heavy afternoon downpours. Villa prices drop to some of the lowest of the year, and Canggu's relaxed, community-oriented side is most visible — fewer Instagram influencers, more people actually living and working here. The rice paddies reach peak green again as they flood and the landscape is dramatically beautiful between downpours.

Canggu's thriving digital nomad and expat community organises informal events, networking evenings, and skill-share sessions more frequently in the quieter November period. Check Dojo and Outpost noticeboards.

Wet season begins but less dramatically than on the south coast.

November signals the return of the wet season to Lovina, though the transition is gentler here than on Bali's south coast. Rainfall climbs to around 110 mm across 13 days — significant, but still less than half of what Seminyak or Denpasar receives. The rain pattern follows the classic tropical afternoon-storm rhythm: mornings are frequently clear and warm with temperatures reaching 32°C, then cloud builds over the central mountains and the first showers arrive by early afternoon. This pattern keeps the morning dolphin-watching tours viable on most days, though the frequency of calm, glassy conditions decreases from the October ideal. Humidity rises to 78%. The Bali Sea can occasionally be choppy during storm periods, but these are usually brief. Dive operators continue to run trips but recommend flexibility. One advantage of November's returning rain is the dramatic scenery it restores — the volcanic hillsides behind Lovina begin turning green again after the dry season's brown-and-ochre palette, and the waterfalls at Gitgit and Sekumpul begin to fill with renewed energy. Low season prices hold firmly in November, and the beach retains a wonderfully local character. This is a month for travellers who value authenticity and budget over guaranteed sunshine.

Monthly full moon ceremonies at temples across north Bali, including the cliff-top Pura Pulaki and beachfront shrines near Lovina — particularly meaningful as the rainy season begins.

Wet season arrives late in Amed. Rain starts but less than half of what the south coast receives.

November marks the belated arrival of the wet season in Amed. While south Bali has been accumulating heavy rainfall since October, Amed only reaches 75 mm over 9 rain days in November — less than a third of what Denpasar receives in the same month. Mount Agung's sheltering effect remains powerful. Temperatures rise to 33°C and humidity climbs to 76% — warm but not uncomfortable by Bali standards. Diving continues but with more variable conditions: some days deliver 15 metre visibility and completely calm seas; on others, after heavy rainfall, visibility can drop to 8–10 metres at Tulamben and the Amed reef sites. Morning dives are more reliable than afternoon sessions. The fishing village life is at its most authentic in November — low visitor numbers, affordable accommodation, and local warungs serving fresh catch at genuine local prices. The volcanic landscape starts greening dramatically as November rains refresh the dry season-parched hillsides. The backdrop of Mount Agung, often capped with cloud, is dramatic and photogenic. For budget-conscious divers willing to accept some variability, November offers excellent value.

Monthly full moon temple rituals at beachfront and hillside shrines around Amed, including the small sea temple at Jemeluk bay. More elaborate during the transition to the rainy season.

Sanur Weather & Climate — weather-and-climate.com

Rainy season begins. Afternoon downpours become regular but mornings usually clear.

November marks the beginning of Sanur's wet season but the east-facing bay continues to provide a buffer against the worst conditions. Rainfall climbs to 165 mm over 16 days and humidity reaches 79%. The afternoon downpours are regular and often heavy, but mornings remain usable for beach activities — the protected bay stays calmer than the west coast beaches even when rain is falling elsewhere. Temperatures at 31°C with warm 24°C overnight lows keep the weather pleasant in the morning windows. The Sanur Village Festival (Sanfest) typically takes place in November at Mertasari Beach — an annual event featuring cultural performances, local food vendors, art exhibitions, and traditional Balinese activities that celebrates Sanur's distinct community identity. Accommodation prices remain at low-season levels. The beachfront promenade is at its most authentic in November — local Balinese families, food carts, and morning exercises dominate with few international tourists. Kitesurfing becomes less reliable as the southeast trade winds weaken and the wet season begins, though occasional strong days still occur.

Annual multi-day cultural festival held at Mertasari Beach in Sanur featuring traditional Balinese dance performances, music, local food stalls, craft markets, and community competitions. One of east Bali's most authentic local events.
