Today's Surf Conditions at Uluwatu
Best Surf Season & Climatology
Best Surf Season (April - October)
The statistical record at Uluwatu is clear: nearly all of the useful energy arrives from the SSW/SW window, even though the classic N-NW directional window is theoretically optimal for a NNW-facing beach. From April through October the Indian Ocean storm tracks feed the Bukit with long-period SSW/SW groundswell, while the southeast trades replace the monsoon winds. Average heights run from 5-6ft (1.7m) in the shoulder months to 7ft (2.2m) during June-August, with periods of 13.8-14.4s. Ideal wind percentages reach 71-89% in the peak months, and Uluwatu delivers its signature long, hollow, powerful reef waves.
