September Weather in Amed: A Closer Look

September is Amed's quiet star month β€” 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 32Β°C with a comfortable 23Β°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 β€” 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 β€” 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.
