Denpasar Sea Temperature

Wonderful shoulder season. Crowds thin out while weather remains excellent.

September is widely considered one of the best months to visit Denpasar. The dry season continues with only 47mm of rainfall over 8 days, but the peak tourist crowds begin to thin after the school holiday exodus. Temperatures stay at 31°C highs and 23°C lows with humidity at 72%. Sea temperatures hover around 27°C, and the water remains exceptionally clear for diving. The UV index climbs back to 7 as the sun angle shifts. The strong southerly trade winds ease slightly through September, making outdoor dining and beach time even more comfortable. This is essentially the same weather as July-August but without the surcharges and queue times. The Bali International Airshow takes place at the end of September near Ngurah Rai Airport — a multi-day aviation exhibition that draws significant crowds to the Nusa Dua area. Prices at hotels and restaurants typically drop 20–30% compared to peak August rates.

Ubud Weather Averages

Still dry with comfortable temperatures. Crowds starting to thin.

September is a superb month in Ubud — dry-season conditions persist with only 50mm of rain across 8 days, but the peak-season crowds begin their retreat after the European and Australian school holiday window closes. Temperatures edge back up to 28°C highs and 21°C lows, and humidity rises marginally to 74% as the season slowly shifts. The UV index is 6. The highland landscape remains green and clear, and the combination of excellent weather with declining tourist numbers makes September arguably the smartest month to visit Ubud. Hotel rates drop 20–30% from August, the Tegalalang terraces can be walked without a queue, and restaurant tables at Locavore and other premium venues become bookable again without weeks of advance notice. The Ubud Writers and Readers Festival is confirmed for October 21–25, meaning some festival-goers begin arriving in Ubud in late September.

Best Time to Visit Bali 2025: Weather, Crowds & Travel Guide

Outstanding shoulder season. Dry weather continues as crowds thin out.

September may well be the single best value month to visit Seminyak, and seasoned Bali travelers know this secret well. The dry season holds firmly — seven rain days on average, humidity just 72%, and temperatures essentially identical to August — but the crowds melt away as European and Australian school holidays end. By mid-September, beach club sunbeds are available without advance booking, restaurant tables can be had on the night, and hotel rates drop 20–35% from August peaks. The surf remains excellent through September, often improving as the Indian Ocean swell becomes more focused. The west-facing beaches still deliver those spectacular late-afternoon sunsets, and the evening bar scene retains plenty of energy from digital nomads, expats, and shoulder-season travelers. By late September there's a gentle hint of the coming transition — a brief shower here and there — but nothing to disrupt a beach holiday. For the cost-conscious traveler who still wants near-perfect weather, September is the month.

Several top restaurants and beach clubs reopen after August maintenance breaks with refreshed menus and promotional offers to attract visitors in the quieter shoulder period.

Best Time to Surf Bali: A Complete Guide for Every Level

Brilliant shoulder season. Crowds thin out while surf and weather remain excellent.

September is arguably the best month to visit Canggu for those who care about both wave quality and elbow room in the lineup. The dry season conditions hold firmly — just seven rain days, humidity at 72%, and the southeast swell still delivering consistent 3–7 foot sets at Echo Beach. But as European and Australian school holidays end, the crowd pressure drops dramatically. By mid-September you can paddle out at Echo Beach during morning hours without the 80-person peak-season pack. Old Man's becomes the relaxed longboard paradise it was designed to be. Beach clubs like FINNS and Atlas go back to relaxed day access — no morning race for the best sun loungers. Villa and accommodation prices drop 20–35% from August peaks. The social energy of Canggu's digital nomad and expat community reasserts itself as the tourist day-trippers depart. For anyone who has visited in peak season and complained about the crowds, September is the exact same experience with the chaos subtracted. By late September, occasional brief afternoon showers signal the approaching transition, but they don't affect quality surf mornings.

Several informal and semi-formal local surf competitions take place at Echo Beach and Batu Bolong in September as the peak-season rush fades. Good free spectating and an insight into Bali's active surf culture.

Still very dry. Excellent shoulder season with warm days and calm seas.

September is perhaps Lovina's best-kept secret month. Weather remains excellent — only 30 mm of rain over 4 days, humidity at 70%, and daytime temperatures of 31°C with a pleasant overnight low of 23°C. Yet visitor numbers drop sharply as European and Australian school holidays end after August. The result is a north coast that feels remarkably uncrowded while retaining all the advantages of the dry season. Dolphin sightings continue to be highly reliable with the calm Bali Sea. Snorkeling and diving conditions are still superb, though visibility might occasionally dip slightly from August's peak as the first faint hints of the coming season appear. The Lovina beachfront takes on a tranquil, almost village-like atmosphere: local fishermen work their nets, warungs are busy with Balinese regulars, and accommodation prices fall back from the August peak. September is also excellent for inland exploration — the roads around Munduk, Bedugul, and Lovina's own hinterland are quiet and easy to navigate. The highland air remains clear and crisp. Coffee plantations in the Munduk highlands are in late-harvest mode, and a guided coffee tour is both educational and delicious. For families and couples seeking a relaxed tropical beach experience with reliable weather, September in Lovina is genuinely exceptional value.

If the 210-day Balinese Pawukon calendar aligns, September may see Galungan festivities with decorated penjor bamboo poles and temple ceremonies across north Bali villages.

Amed Bali Travel Guide — baliholidaysecrets.com

USAT Liberty Bali dive — stingynomads.com

Still bone dry. Excellent conditions continue with fewer visitors than August.

September is Amed's quiet star month — all the conditions of August with a significant drop in visitor numbers. Just 18 mm of rain over 2 days, humidity at 68%, and temperatures at 32°C with a comfortable 23°C overnight. The USAT Liberty wreck continues to deliver 20–25 metre visibility and the full marine life spectacle. Mola mola sightings remain possible through September, as the cold upwelling from the Lombok Strait that brings these ocean sunfish close to the surface persists into the month. Dive sites are noticeably less crowded — early morning dives at Tulamben can feel almost private compared to August. Accommodation prices drop immediately after the August peak and September offers some of Amed's best value for quality. The dry landscape around Amed begins to show the first faint greening of new growth as the faintest hints of the coming wet season begin. This is an excellent month for completing a PADI course — instructors have more time for students, water conditions are ideal, and the cost is typically 15–20% less than August. Amed's sleepy village character reasserts itself in September: fewer jeeps and motorbikes, more local fishing activity, and a general return to the low-key atmosphere that makes this corner of Bali so appealing.

Dive operators scale back group sizes and offer better individual attention. Local fishing communities return to normal rhythms after the busiest tourist month.

Best Time to Visit Bali — baliholidaysecrets.com

Excellent shoulder season. Weather still superb as crowds thin out.

September is a prime month to visit Sanur. Weather remains excellent — 40 mm of rain over 6 days, humidity at 71%, and 31°C daytime temperatures. The southeast trade winds continue to blow, keeping the bay active for kitesurfing and windsurfing. Visitor numbers drop sharply from August as European and Australian school holidays end, yet conditions are virtually unchanged from peak season. Sanur takes on its characteristic relaxed pace: the promenade is less crowded, restaurant reservations are easily available, and accommodation prices fall from peak levels. The Bali Kite Festival can extend into September at Padang Galak. Snorkeling visibility remains strong at 15–20 metres in the bay. September is an outstanding month for day trips to the Nusa islands — Nusa Penida's Kelingking Beach and Crystal Bay are less crowded than in August. The trade wind season also makes September a strong kitesurfing month with consistent breezes. Sanur's tranquil, sophisticated character is at its most appealing in September — it's the month where the benefits of choosing Sanur over more hectic south Bali destinations are most evident.

The Bali International Kite Festival sometimes extends into September at Padang Galak depending on wind conditions and scheduling.
